I play here three or four times a year, most recently 7-30-08.
The design is excellent, with good use of the terrain, which has lots of elevation change (and hence, not very walkable for us seniors). Not especially long, but plenty of challenge and great vistas (the one from the tee box on #16 is awesome!).
Water comes into play on a few holes, and it is not just decoration, but shot-influencing. Tee boxes are modestly sized, but level. Farways are generally wide, no moguls or sculpting, and very few are flat. Bunkers are not overwhelming in either size or number, and usually play fairly. Greens tend to be single plane (flat, but tilted), with very little tiering or contouring: they usally putt true, if a little slow.
Staff is uniformly outstanding everywhere... the influence of a membership club, I suppose. A very nice course that is worth the effort to find: it is a bit off the beaten track, so make sure you have directions before setting out. Also, they do a LOT of outings and member events, so call ahead to confirm availability.
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, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
