This is my home course. Great frequent player card program gives free round after 7 played (and double credits some times). Buying a gift card for yourself in the offseason gives you an additional 20% discount. This, combined with the difficulty and the relatively faster pace of play (than other local courses) makes it the best value in the area. Very difficult first 3 holes, especially if it is windy. If in doubt, move up a set of tees! Bunker renovation was completed for the US Open qualifier: all bunkers have fresh sand. The course is walkable, but hilly enough to make it a hike. The cart barn looks ratty. The club house is an old house that looks "eh" from the outside. It took a while for this course to grow on me. Sign up on the Internet for free birthday rounds, notice of unique rain check guarantee days, free lunch specials, and special Internet tee time deals.

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again

The course is in great shape, especially the greens. Pace of play on weekends is running about 4.5 hrs (a little faster than the other local courses). US open qualifier was 5/9.

This course is in great shape (way to go Kirk and crew)! A US Open local qualifier was held here 5/18. Low score was 65. Greens are firm. Green speeds have been generally faster than other area courses (about 12, but were about 11 yesterday due to overnight rain). The rough protecting #9 green is getting mowed down a couple times per season now, making going for the green in 2 less risky. The practice green was redone this year lowering the lip on the bunker and replacing the grass. Look for special rates for online tee times. The frequent player program is free and gives you a 10% discount after your first round (20% for seniors on weekdays).

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area

The superintendent reports another slow start this year but the greens have finally grown in after double aeration (deep and shallow). You can still see the pattern of the aeration holes, but they are not affecting putts. The greens are rolling relatively slow (around 10), but Kirk will get them to 11+ soon enough. The fairways still show some stripes from verticutting, but are playing true. I'm a biased member so I'll relay a comment from a recent AJGA (junior tournament) player's dad. "My girl has played tournaments in eight states and this is the best course she's ever played by far". If you give the desk your email address at check in, you automatically get frequent player credit on your next round. There are also many different special packages for more frequent players. New carts and new GPS units this year.

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
