My home course. Layout is excellent since each set of tees puts a different "look" on a hole, and frequently changes choice of line to the green. Conditioning is not a country club, but is very good for a busy public golf course. If I was stuck just playing one course until I'm dead, this would not be a bad choice. You can face either strong (15-25) NNW winds or just the opposite (15-30) SSE winds. Housing tends to mitigate the wind on many holes. Course has 47 traps, down from 63 when it opened a decade ago. Lots of wetland which comes into play on 13 holes, and lots of birds. Greens crew have been working hard the past few years to improve conditioning and are making a lot of progress, so the fairway and green trend is from "par to birdie".
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
