This has been one of my favorite courses since it opened in he last few years. With a good choice of tees, it justifies whatever slope is applicable. We played it yesterday (July 11th),and the conditions were near-perfect. Like most courses, accurate driving is a must to score well. Greens are undulated and yesterday they were FAST. Traps had better sand than many other courses in the area. Pro shop is somewhat small but adequate. Staff is helpful and always friendly. My group (8-12 players) is always happy to play here.
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, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
