This is a very challenging course. The layout is great. The county is investing money to fix up the course. Fairways are burnt out (New irrigation system will help). The tee boxes and bunkers need more work.

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again

This course is very challenging. Conditions are excellent. The staff is helpful and friendly. I think the rates are fair. I played on the weekend. When using the reservation system, there is a charge for reserving the tee time and an additional charge if you are playing during "prime time". Played on the weekend and was finished in less than 4 hours. I have 2 suggestions. I think they should get wind shields for the golf carts and they also need to improve the sand in the bunkers.

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
