Challanging, without being totally puntative. Well kept fairways with maturing greens. Rewards agressive fairway play, but watch out for the greens. Nicklaus designed and very tough to read accurately the first time out. Generous use of "false fronts" with adequate Risk/Reward opportunities await the advanced player, but average players will not feel like they have been "rode hard and put away wet". Panoramic Scenery is definitely worth your time and effort. You will walk away realizing your time at the course was "Well Spent" and you definitely got your Moneys Worth........you will play it again soon.
Would travel: 0-10 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, Layout, Ambiance, Pace of Play, Staff, Clubhouse
