A schizophrenic course. The front 9 and back 9 are totally distinct and separate courses. The front plays through taller trees and houses, while the back 9 is entirely an ocean layout around dunes. This course will challenge you with all types of uphill, sidehill, downhill lies, tempt you to try and drive the shorter par 4 and require precise tee shots (especially on the back 9), and figuring out how to play in the wind. It's not uncommon to see whales in the Bay during the spring and fall months, which sometimes can slow up play on the back 9. Well worth the 140 drive in the summer to beat the heat. Front 9 greens presently are tore up due to chemical burns, but staff promises they will be back in shape around august 1st or so.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level
