Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Thursday, July 2013 at noon
Nice course; don't recall our price, but it was reasonable. This course was private before Hurricane Katrina. Membership was down and they now offer not only VERY affordable memberships without minimums, but also open tee times to the public, and those rates are good too. The course is really wedged into a subdivision. The routing is as creative as it can be given the area to work with. The course drains pretty well too. The front nine is all in one area that's about 200 yards across, but it's not all just parallel fairways. The back nine winds through another section of the neighborhood. For a Robert Trent Jones course, it's kind of non-descript, but the quality is in the details - some tricky greens, well placed bunkers and odd angles. A nice course for the money.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area
