Unfortunately, the photograph (above) is the approach to the Par-3 third hole on the East Course. It's unfortunate, because the Par-3 12th hole, on this, the West Course, which was just re-constructed within the past 10-years is without question, the most beautiful hole on either course. The west course used to be considered just okay, a course to play if the East Course was full. Not so, anymore. This is a terrific little layout, relatively short, but a very nice test. The West Course is tree-lined, much like the East Course, but has its own charm and the recent changes on the back nine have made it a very pleasant golfing experience, especially for the mid-range handicapper.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
