I don't know what course some of the critics played before, but this course is in great shape. The fairways are well taken care of. The greens are excellent, being very large and fast. It took most of my round to get used to lagging the putts to the hole. The sand traps were also in good shape.
This was my first time playing this course. As whenever one plays a course for the first time it is difficult to properly "manage" your shots to be in the best positions. I would like to play it again, now being somewhat familiar with the layout.
As far as the tall grass off the fairway, if you play a links type course you have to expect this. So, it's important that your tee shots be in the fairway. In general,the fairways were quite wide and very "fair".
The clubhouse is outstanding.
Our group, consisting of 18 men, really enjoyed this course and will more than likely return next year.
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
