Note: the price I paid ($49) was the senior rate. I like this course a lot. It is playable - relatively wide fairways - but there are some hidden hazards. Holes tend to be similar to each other. Greens are in great shape, fairways too. Rough is thick, but we have had a lot of rain recently. White tees are nearly 6,500 yards, silver set is about 5,900; would like to see a combination of silver/white at about 6,250. Clubhouse is terrific and restaurant has great food.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
