Played here 10-18-13 as part of a golf package, and came away thoroughly humbled by an outstanding golf course. Great design, superb use of the terrain, and lots of wildlife to enjoy. Design is one of Maples' best, I think. Some punishing bunkers, big enough for a boxcar, but they are easy enough to avoid if you are not suckered in by the pin placement...as I was! Lots of water, complete with 'gators. Most impressive feature in my view was the very heavily contoured greens, many of which had pins placed right at the crest of a knob: very tough day on the moss. Make an effort to fit this course into your travel plans - it is worth the effort!
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
