This is the 3rd time I've played the course in 30 years. It is a beautiful course, a good and fair challenge with decent risk/reward choices. The carts have GPS and green maps but it still helps to have a bit of local knowledge. Lots of goose droppings on a couple of holes. Afternoon wind can make the 16th and 17th real testers but thats golf. Not all the teeboxes are flat but the grounds and grass are well kept. First cut of rough isn't bad, 2nd cut - don't hope for a miracle shot, just get it in play with some advancement and move on. Traps are pretty fluffy and about an inch of sand so a full shot doesn't ring your chimes with bounce off the bottom.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Best course in the area
