Beautiful Resort Course.
Bruce Devlin designed.
Very few holes near each other.
You MUST take a cart....walking will 'kill' you. Too steep & to far to the tees.
Excellent cart paths....smooth and well done.
No 2 holes are similar.
Just the view from the smallish practice tee is beautiful.
Bring a camera.
The fairways had too many muddy/mushy areas....many times had to replace ball from casual water during a historically dry summer.
Ponds, lakes and waterfalls are abundant, but only really come into play on the 9th.
I shall return here!
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
