There is only one bunker on the entire course (not that I'm complaining but the stats are wrong). There are also no lakes anywhere near the course. Very few things wrong with this course but I'll try to list them: The roughs tend to be a little deep so balls are hard to find. A few overhanging tree limbs could better trimmed on 1,6 and 9. Sadistic pin placements can ruin a good game. Evergreens need a better trim underneath to save search time. Groundskeepers fail to yield right-of-way to players. Food and beverages priced just high enough to make you reconsider. Good things: Comfortable clubhouse Pleasant staff Relaxed pace Well maintained fairways and greens Free ice water on course but could use 1 more at tee 6 Nicest public course in a 20 mile radius

Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
