Very challenging layout, definately a position course. Greens run between 11-13 on stimp, you want to be below the hole as much as possible. Greens in regulation does not guarantee a par. It is very easy to 3 putt or worse if out of position on the green in relation to hole placement. Birdies can be had easily on most par 5-s and some par 4-s but double and triple bogies are lurking when a bad shot is played. Getting off the tee is crucial for a mid to long iron approach, having trouble of the tee box can lead to a score in the high 80-s to high 90-s depending on the skill level of the golfer.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
