I have played this course a lot over the last 5 years. A few years ago it was in bad shape, it is now getting some of its luster back. New management is obviously trying to get this course back into top condtion. I find most of the holes to be challenging and interesting. There is no driving range, but they just added a very unique and cool hitting area to warm up and let loose with a few before you take the first T.

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

They just put over 4 million dollars into the course to make it more drought resistant and it really helped with the ambiance of the course and also made it a little easier. This course use to play at least 4 strokes over your index. By the way they reversed the nines a few years ago and the easiest hole is now #7, not #16. The T boxes are all new and the greens are in very good condition. They had special price to play while finishing the remodel and that time has expired, so prices will probably go up a little. You need a cart to play because some of the distances between holes is too far to walk. The course does run through a subdivision, but not all of the holes are surrounded by homes. Challenging with some interesting holes and much more fun to play than just a few years ago. I have always found the staff to be very friendly.

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
