Fairways were narrow and hard to hold. I hit several drives into the center of the fair way only to have it roll off the fairway into very deep rough. Majority of my misses were less than 2 feet off the fairway. If you are going to cut the fairways so short you need to have a first cut of rough to catch the balls from rolling into the deep stuff. Greens were fairly hard. I brought several iron shots into the greens from very high and left very few ball marks and had several roll off the back of the greens. Other than that a tough course that was fun to play.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better courses for less nearby, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
