This is a very interesting executive course with what I think are the most interesting greens in the area. Some of the 3 pars may be short, but the crowned greens assure that any shot not solidly on target will be sent bounding away from where you wanted to be. As another reviewer said, this is a great course to sharpen your short game
Course condition is not "country club", but it gets better every week. To me the most important thing about Jack Tone is the pride of ownership of your owner/hosts, George and Sharon Buzzini. They obviously love the place and are genuinely happy to have you share their course. You can finish an eighteen hole round in 2.5 hours, but you are likely to spend at least another hour enjoying the hospitality of the Buzzinis and their staff. Think of "Cheers" as a golf course and you get the idea. In no time at all "everybody knows your name." That's a special place
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
