Wow. For the last 10 years, I have consistently told all of my friends, acquaintances, strangers...everyone to PLAY THIS COURSE. How can you not love this course? It has EVERYTHING you want.
Lets talk first about "first tee jitters."
Picture yourself walking up to a tee box at the edge of a mountain...the closer you get to the tee box, the more you start to wonder when you are actually going to be able to see the fairway down below it. It's a good 80 foot drop down to the ample landing area and it is actually a nice, easy starting hole...but it doesn't feel like that when you are perched up at the top of that cliff!!!
And the course just keeps getting better and better. Sure, there are a few throwaway holes in the middle...but TRUST ME...you will have your camera out on at least 12 of the holes on this course.
The cool part about it, is that they layout doesn't seem quirky. Everything about this course feels right. Get your golf buddies together and make the trip. You will not be disappointed. I love this place and will continue to get back up there whenever I can.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
