This course is a bit of a percularity. Not really advertised in the area and not sure where the money is coming from to support it since T or C seems to be a bit depressed. It appears it is trying to make itself a destination for retirees. It does not get much playing pressure. At any rate, really enjoyed the course, and at $45 weekday morning rate, was a great deal considering I normally pay much more for a similar couses here in Southern California. Was in really good shape overall except for a couple fairways and greens which were a bit burned out. Was fairly challenging for the most part, with water coming in to play on a few holes, and the few homes that are near the course are not much of a concern. It will be interesting to see how this course matures. All in all, a fun play and worth it if in the area. Oh, look out for the wild boar.....no kidding!
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
