I play this course at least 10 times a year. Always in great condition, with great fairways and excellent green conditions.
Greens are relatively fast and true. Layout is different with two par 3-s back to back on the front nine and 3 par 5-s in a row (9,10 and 11).
Great opening hole. They have cut back a lot of the trees and underbrush in the last few years making the course a bit easier.
This year they lengthened the 11th hole making it impossible to reach in 2. Much more difficult hole. The green needs another year to settle in.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Would travel: 120-300 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
