Stayed at the Colony House on site, which adds to the great overall experience, during a tournament. Staff is wonderful, and this Seth Raynor classic should be on every true golfer's bucket list, although being quite private, you need a contact to play. Low volume of play means the course is in pristine condition, and pace of play is fast as befits a private club. You will use all the clubs in your bag here, Rough is minimal, no forced carries, excellent fairway lies - no excuses! I am 79 with a 10.3 index and shot my age 3 of 4 days. Fun golf on a premium course at a very reasonable cost.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
