The course has renovated many of the bunkers and has put new sand in them this summer. Once the new sod has completely taken this course is going to be in excellent shape. It can be a challenging course from the blue tees, but very fair and playable from the white tees for the higher handicappers. The par 3's can range from a short 110 yards on #12 to +200 yards on #14. Three of the four par 5's on the course can be reached in 2 with drives of 250 yards off the tee box.
Would travel: 30-60 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
