the greens are the biggest con on this course. The mowers leave ridges and shave off areas of the greens due to the severe shape of the surface. I felt the greens are too large as well, leading to puts of over 100ft or more and sometimes with an elevation change of 5 to 8 feet. If you are a visitor to this course and are not familiar with the greens and can't see the pin because of the mounds protecting the greens you will be likely looking at a lot of three putts. the fairway layout is a great improvement over the old course and adds more challenges with bunker placement so choose your tee shots carefully. Overall this course adds a nice option for north bay golfers with competitive pricing and is easy to walk for us older folks
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
