It's a shame this course has been allowed to deteriorate. First three holes were so bad, we seriously considered leaving. But as you progress, the scenery is incredible and the hole designs are very unique. Unfortunately, many of the fairways are unkempt and the greens are extremely sandy. When we arrived, we were told hole #3 was closed! No discount for that, though. Cart kept wheezing and coughing; feared we would be stranded. With just a little TLC, this course could be a wonderful experience.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area
Difficulty, Layout, Pace of Play
Condition of Course, Price, Ambiance, Clubhouse, Food/Bar Facilities
