Fairly short course at 5800 yds (+/-). The thoughtful layout demands accuracy, and there aren't many easy par 4s or 5s. Look for your pars on the par 3's.
Water on a good number of holes. Short holes can be challenging with water, doglegs or considerable hazards.
First hole is an easy (short & straight) par 4 but the next is a 550 yard par 5 which is a true challenge even if you are a long hitter. A dogleg off the tee box over a hazard area, with two more hazards to negotiate before you face an elevated green.
The back nine increases in difficulty and the last three holes are especially challenging and as difficult as you will find in many private courses.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
