This is an incredible test of golf. It is long, it is tough and when you finish you feel as if you have played a US Open venue. I was pleased to break 100 when it usually takes seventy-something to assuage my competitive nature. The pro shop is large and very well stocked, including some teriffic bargains. There is very good food in the restaurant. The driving range has mats, but this is the New York Metro area sort of. The price is about 1/6 of Pebble and the course is comparable. Phenomenal bargain. If you are in the area and don't play it, you are scared or foolish. It is harder than Pinehurst #2.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Price, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play, Staff, Clubhouse, Pro Shop
