This is a very scenic course with exceptional views. The price was reasonable for the quality of the course and the layout is challenging and interesting. The problem I have with the layout is the excessive number of blind shots - primarily off the tee. This resulted in a quite a few lost balls for our threesome. Because most of the fairways are sloped to one side, you often have no idea where your ball is going to end up, and the rough was cut to about 6 inches! This is the kind of course that will require playing several times to figure out the optimum place to hit your tee shots.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
