Good course, tough greens.

Bit of a ride to get to but always a great course. Greens are some of the toughest around and you better be on top of your putting game or that ten footer will be a thirty footer coming back!!! Great course and you can't beat the price.

Difficult greens, tough pin positions.

I've enjoyed playing here for many years. The course layout is wonderful. I come here to play for the greens as they are always speedy and rolling!
