This is a true test of golf without the wind. When it blows hang on to your hat. OB on 16 holes. Water hazard on 15 holes. If you never played here and are more than a 15 handicap you'll need a dozen balls. The short length of the course is no indication of it's difficulty. Greens are small, undulating and well bunkered.
Note: Whenever I've played the Arboretum I've had to repair too many ball marks and divots..... Players should be more considerate. Staff is great!
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
