When I first started playing this course some years ago, I did not like it. I lost a lot of balls because the visuals on most of the holes were intimidating with a lot of carries over deadly wasteland, so I only went back when my playing partners insisted. As time went by, I guess I got used to it because now, I play it often. No. 4 is a very difficult hole played over a creek, up the hill and takes a long drive to reach the plateau. If you hit a high long drive you're ok but if you do not carry the top, you will usually roll back to one of the catch areas with a 200 yard shot which you must get going high very quickly and keep it to the right side to avoid the ravine in front of the left side of the green. A par is excellent here. The front takes well placed tee shots. The back side is easier and I have reccommended to the pro that the sides should be reversed since the first 4 holes are relatively easier. 14 is a long par 3 across 100 yds of waste and swamp during the rainy season. Number 18 is the hardest hole on the course and I would be hard put to name one more difficult. Again, the drive must be long and carry another 100+yds of waste. A 270yd drive will reach the 150 marker. To the right and you could could land in deep bunkers or the woods or will at least make you lay up. The green is cut in a hillside, elevated with bunkers behind,front and right and it is all carry since there is a deadly brush filled creek in front. It feels like a par 5 and probably should be for the average golfer, so a par really feels like a birdie.
Overall this course requires good driving and course knowledge to play it well.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
