$26 (cart included), played on Monday, March 2012 at noon

We played the course on a Monday afternoon, and found the course to be in very good condition. The first hole may be the easiest, as the holes seem to get progressively harder. My biggest mistake was playing the back tees, as I was unable to reach the greens in two on some of the par 4's. I am a senior golfer though, and the ball doesn't seem to go as far as it used to. Overall, it is a very good layout, and very surprising to find such a good course some distance from a large metropolitan area. The biggest drawbacks are a lack of clubhouse/food service, and the driving range is some distance from the proshop.

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
