Played here on an unseasonably warm November day, with temps in the 70's after noon. I mention this because the course conditions varied considerably as the dew burnt off. Greens were sluggish early in the round, but picked up quite a bit as they dried out. Same with fairways: got no roll to speak of early on. Signs of drainage issues on some fairways on the front, too. Layout is pretty basic, with mostly straight holes, and only a few doglegs. Course has 5 par 3's, and all exceed 150 yards from the White tees, Lots of bunkers, and some modest elevation change. Some very nice vistas, though, especially on the back nine, which has a few hills. Conditions today were good for this time of year, with the only negative being the bunkers, which were very firm. We paid $19 with the Tee Time book, which is a good price for this course. Staff we met were very welcoming, and made clear that they appreciated our patronage. Course is walkable, if ou are so inclined. Clubhouse is a little dated, but has the essentials. Overall, it's not a "destination" type of course, but has a nice, friendly, "neighborhood" feel, and is worth a visit. We recommend.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
