Played through 11 holes only due to heavy rain washing out round. Front nine was recently aerated so it wasn't fair to judge the speed or breaks found on the greens based only on the two back nine holes. Course layout was very nice. Doglegs, streams and some blind shots were apparent throughout what I played. A shorter course that may take the driver out of a long hitters hand on some holes. Small greens that are protected by bunkers and woods/rough put a premium on shot accuracy. Terrain was hilly and many holes had tricky sight lines that fooled the eye as to distance required for a particular shot. I will return to play again and not just because of a 9 hole rain check. A pleasant course.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Best course in the area
