This is a nice course. Very wide fairways which makes for good scoring. The greens and the fairways were nice and green. There were some limbs and trees still down from recent storms, but did not interfere with the game. The traps could have been better. They had not been raked and fluffed since the storm, so they were hard packed sand.

We played the super-saver sunday special ($29 w/cart) which begins at 5:00 p.m. There was plenty of sun light to get the whole 18 in without much trouble so long as you are in a group of only two. Once you get more than that you will have a hard time finishing by dark.

The course runs from 6,000 yards for the whites and 6,700 for the championships. When we were on the 10th hole the marshall came by and told us we had to finish by 8:30. Thought that was a little unfair. Should have told us when we paid. But we played out the 18 even though we didn't finish until 8:45. One of three some left after 15 holes. If he had played with us we would not have finished before dark.

But very good course. Played easier than usual 6,000 yard course. Also, My GPS Golf Buddy was a little inaccurate on the course. Don't know what caused. On at least 3 holes it was 20 yards off on distance.

Oh, normal Sunday price is $40.00.

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing

Not much has changed since last time I rated this course. Fun course. Long drives are rewarded. Only a few of the fairwys are hard to miss. The bunkers are exactly they were last time. I hit them before and I hit them today. Kind of wish they would move them next time. Sand was hard and packed. However this helped if you were in a fairway bunker. And I was in a bunch of bunkers

The greens were pretty fast. Even the slightest putt would send the ball 4 feet past the hole.

If you ever need extra balls, make a trip into the woods on the first hole on the right. My son found 15 balls in there addition to his in less than 5 minutes.

Good golf course. One bummer though, no gizzer tees.
