The layout is old school and simple but you have to plan and make your shots to compete. The greens are small, quick and challenging to make.
There are some fun holes on this course...
#6 requires a very good second shot to make the green or you are looking at bogey plus
#8 is an easy par (maybe) if you can hit a high tee shot that carries 175 yards in the air over water - otherwise, a 100 yard tee shot across the lake and a near-90 degree dogleg has you looking, again, at bogey-plus.
#10 requires a good downhill tee shot and a great uphill second shot to have a chance at the green
#14 is a long (240 yards) downhill par 3 that requires you to play the break in the fairway to make the green
#15 is a challenging 190 yard uphill par 3 where the top of the flag is your only view of the target
#17 is a beautiful downhill par 3 where the green is surrounded by traps and trees so your tee shot better be on the green. And the rest of the course is fun to play, too.
I loved the laid-back pace and friendly members/guests players that made the whole day fun.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
