$101 (cart included), played on Sunday, April 2012 at 10am

The course was in absolutely perfect condition. The layout is great and it is one of the most scenic courses I've ever played. It was an outstanding golf course and is now one of my favorites. Probably not a good course for elderly players or duffers, because the course is challenging. In the spring, the rough is thick and next to the rough is knee high grass which will eat golf balls, so bad shots are punished. I read some of the negative reviews about this course and have to wonder if these grumps played the same course? There is plenty of water available on the course and it's cold and clean. The cart girl was out and she was attentive. The club house staff was great and most attentive. And frankly, the course is as scenic as you will ever find. It was just beautiful. I had a great experience and recommend this place to any avid golfer than can hit the ball 200 yards.

Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level
