I Recommend This Course
Good value for a Poor Man's Royal New Kent
Fun and challenging course. The layout is dynamite. Forces you to be accurate and creative with shots. Billed as Scottish links style the course reminds me of Royal New Kent. A poor man's version in both course condition and cost. Course conditions not terrible but could be improved. Fairways rate 3 out of 5 bit shaggy; greens 3 1/2 out of 5; Cost rates 5 out of 5. Overall experience was enjoyable; will play again. With maturity and maintenance the course could be 4 star however not their yet. Oh yeah, ball in rough is lost; hit a provisional.

I burn this course up bros!
The course is challenging.....not for me, but for some. Fun course to play, makes you hit golf shots as opposed to basketball shots I suppose. I never really understood that statement.
