This 27-hole championship golf course offers a nice challenge to all levels of ability. Contrary to the description on the first page, the original 18-hole layout consists of, what is now the West (original back nine) and North (original front.) Each has its own unique flavor with holes that are challenging to the experienced player, and manageable to the higher handicapper. The strongest hole on the entire course is the 428-yard Par-4 second hole on the North Course, which requires a drive the avoids the out-of-bounds (left) and the lake (right) which must be crossed on the second shot in order to reach the green. It's one of the few holes on the course with no bunkers, but with all the other problems, it doesn't need one.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
