$31 (cart included), played on Thursday, August 2010 at 2pm
This course is the best in the area for under $60 a round. A few quirky holes, like the par 3 with the dead tree in the middle of the gorge you have to fly over, to a hard as rock green that slopes back to the front of the green and is nearly impossible to hold. Your putt could roll off the green as well. Still a great challenge and for $35 that includes the cart, and a sandwich and a drink, you won't find better. Beware of league play and outings that can slow play down to a snails pace, but fantastic tract when it plays normal. I always play this course at least once when in the State. The beverage cart girls are attentive and very pleasant, and if they don't have what you want on the cart, they will next time you see them.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, Layout, Price, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Clubhouse
