I failed to check the scorecard at the beginning of the round for the total distance and played the white tees, which is my usual practice. They played to 6665 yards. The yellow tees, about 200 to 300 yards less would have been a better choice for my game.
The greens were is great shape. Many of them few pretty small with slopes off at least two if not all sides, so it was difficult to keep a shot from off the green on the green once it got rolling. All of us in my group struggled with this fact, though none of us would be described as having "a sterling short game." I personally managed to take just 35 putts, but on all of my 1 putt greens, I used my putter from the fringe of the green to get it close to take just 1 putt to get the ball in the hole.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area
