The layout of the course is excellent. Our problem was the greens: they had been aerated a couple of weeks before and, due to the heat and humidity, hadn't yet recovered. They were miserable: bare spots, bumpy, and they were so slow that by the third hole we were calling them velcro greens. Otherwise the course was in excellent shape and fun to play. With one glaring exception the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My overall rating would be higher if the greens had been decent). I would definitely play here again if I was in the area (but only if the greens were in better shape).
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
