Nice straightforward course. No hidden surprises that only the "local" know about. Greens always in good shape with subtle breaks and slopes. Usually easy to get on during the week, no long waits but call to check if they're having a tournament. Lots of tree lined fairways. Off the fairway usually will cost you a stroke to get back in play.
Plays longer than the yardage on the scorecard as a nice cooling breeze comes up everyday around noon or so.
Water comes in to play on seven holes but only to catch an errant shot. Only one hole with a forced carry over water and it has a bailout area if you don't want to try an over-water shot. Good food in the restaurant. During the week usually about a 4 1/2 to 5 hour round. Play it, you'll like it.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level
