Formerly private course is now public. Greens fee includes unlimited range balls. Run by Troon Golf, in their typical excellent fashion. The only disadvantage is location, not very close to populated areas. The greens were very fast (they said 12) but soft, some with very considerable slope. There are some places pretty close to the playing area where you can't find your ball, in deep Bermuda rough and thick, tall grasses. For me, it played harder than the slope indicated.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
