I play this course every Saturday, and, don't be fooled by the yardage. I play the Bridges Tees, which are a combination of the Gold and Black tees. What makes this course harder than it may seem on the card is two things, 1) some greens have much more slope than it may appear in the fairway, and, 2) many of the landing areas are tighter than they appear from the tee. This course does get a lot of outings, and, it shows on the greens. I will repair my ball mark and four others from people who don't realize how much damage a ball mark can do to a green if it isn't repaired. It you normal make your mistakes off the tee to the left, you will have some difficulty on this course. With the exception of 2-3 holes, the trouble is on the left.

Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
