Walked

lives up to its name

I like the course, and have played it about 7-8 times. A good healthy walk( I am almost 74 yrs). Had 3 birdies, and played one over. It is a good test of accuracy off the tee, and your short game...both chipping and putting. Oh, and sand, even though I wasn't in any traps this day. Lots of them, and pretty tough.

Fun short course

My wife and I played here for the 2nd time, course in decent shape, only 2 hrs 50 minutes walking…we caught up to the foursome ahead of us at the 9th, which slowed us down a bit, but pace was good. Lots of par 3's and short par 4's…fun round!

Still a Favorite

One can enjoy a quick 18 holes of challenging golf here. Every hole is unique. In winter shape now, but still worth the money.

The greens were a little wet, but overall very nice course. I wish the pin flags were normal height, pretty hard to judge distance.

slick greens

The challenge is always great fun to play. The course was in exellent shape,and the greens were slick the day I played it. Went from the purple tees which bounce you all over the place, you use all of the tees when going from the purple tees. The weather was great for this time of year. We saw numerous deer on nearly every hole. It was,as usual, a great experience.

Great warm up course with a challenge. The staff worked with me to adjust my tee time and in the end this was a very pleasant day.

Shot course but each hole can be a challenge. To get in 18 holes and in less than 4 hours this is the course to play.

A challenging and fun short course that requires use of most of the clubs in your bag

Truly a fun course that presents a challenge because of slopes and contours and the need to use all clubs - even driver!

Greens are well maintained, quick and somewhat tricky and rough was high and difficult when the ball settled.

The Challenge is a great place for a 3-3 1/2 hour round, walkable for the fit but involves some short climbs and is a fair value, and a super value on some tee-times.
Would recommend to any player except those who want to boom driver on 14 holes because you can only hit driver on 4-5 holes.

Great for kids with some playing time under their belt. Holes from the red tees are just perfect. While the blue tees will challenge the good players.

The course was all that I expected and more.

This course is great for the senior player who can no longer pound the ball. Course management is a must on this track and you will be rewarded with a very satisfying round. It is well maintained and the greens are moderate speed with a good true roll of the ball.

For an executive course it is a bit expensive, especially after you include your cart.

Good experence

Tight fairways, leads to small, very quick greens. Bunkers held good sand, thank goodness I found only two. You must keep the ball in the fairway and use the black (100 yd) marker as your guide to where you hit the ball, then your second shot is easy.

Great course for players of all levels.

I am an 18 handicapper and my wife has been playing less than a year. This course provided a fun and challenging experience for both of us. The course is in beautiful shape and is the best "executive" course I have ever played due to the variety of distances, traps, and general layout. I would recommend it to players of any and all levels.
