Mr. Norman did an admirable job with the land he had available ! A wandering creek through the property comes into play often and not just on your tee shots. The front nine has a Scottish Links flavor with wide fairways and penalizing knee-high rough. The back nine is better suited for the shot-maker with tree-lined (narrow) fairways, elevation changes and some hidden surprises for the first-time player. All greens , in general, were relatively large, receptive and of a fairly constant speed. Unfortunately, we were behind a group of folks that should have been playing from the front tees so we spent a lot of time watching them look for lost balls in the knee-high rough and wandering creek. The clubhouse staff was overanxious to get home (probably because of the Holiday) so returning a set of rental clubs was a chore. I would definitely play it again but earlier in the day if on a weekend.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
