The last time I played here was with two friends from out of town and a very good bartender friend - and it was game day - a little gambling, drinking, and sportsmanship? No. Just gambling and drinking, as it was game on!!! I was the big loser on this particular day, with a carry-over on Oak Quarry's prestigious postcard par three downhill into the quarry itself. I was the Wolf, and my style is to go Blind when I'm the Wolf, no matter what kind of money is on the line. However, the next par 4 was worth 40 skin carry-overs and 15 wolves ... and yes, I went BLIND. And ... after not being able to find what I THOUGHT was a decent tee shot, I lost the hole and a LOT of money! This course was so fun and full of challenges on that day ... and it was about the 5th time I played it all-told. I would go back in a heartbeat. Nothing in the way of a clubhouse, but when you're an hour from home, ya don't wanna have 3 beers and drive anyway! So, it's ok that the clubhouse makes you want to leave after a tough day of golf. Great place! Get your clubs and go, bro!
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Price, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play
