My price was from a 4 pack sold by the course, so generally not quite that cheap. Greens were pretty fast, it's the only time I can remember never being short on my putts! Greens also had some rough spots and had been aerated about a month ago, I would have thought they'd be better by now.
Very noisy with Natl Guard jets flying for about 1/2 hour of the round. Maintenance crews were also pretty bad on the front nine. They consistently waited just behind us with the mowers running. I know it has to be done sometime, but wish it wasn't us that they seemed to follow.
Nevertheless, it's a course I always look forward to playing. If you are playing for the first time, buy the course guide. My
Skycaddie SG3 didn't have enough info to figure out what to do on several holes.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
