Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Saturday, September 2011 at 8am
My main comment was that I was playing pretty well for me that day, but on an average day, the course is so "funky" in elevation change, areas where balls go to die, and torturous layout that I would be lucky to lose fewer than 10 balls in a round. It is built on the side of steep hills so it is ABSOLUTELY not walkable, and even the carts have trouble ascending some of the heights. That's why difficulty is both a pro and a con for this course. Great views, but I prefer more standard layouts and walkable courses. So while I might play it again, it would probably not be often.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
