There was no GPS on the cart, no yardage book offered…and you really need one for this course. Although an Arthur Hills design, and I was under-impressed. A couple of the short holes were very difficult to understand from the tee, and without a map, you were guessing.
Also, it is really key that you play from the appropriate tees, as there are some very stout, forced carries.
I find the course a bit "tricked-up", and not in a memorable way. For the regular price, and we had a discounted fee, I would expect much better.
A number of other courses in the area are much better, and more memorable.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles
Bottom line: Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
