So so
Played with my wife . Course was in pretty rough condition, but then again , played in February. Forward tee boxes were mostly sand . Fairways were spotty which led to balls not holding the fairway… Greens were also inconsistent . Expected better .

Play in the spring
The course lay out is beautifully. But for first time players it's better to play with a local. As the course winds around and thru neighborhoods.

The course has a nice layout but not in good shape. The Time of the year doesn’t help. The Green were in pretty decent shape.

Course Layout
Customer came in late, had a rider but complained about paying for an extra cart. Held tee times for the rest of his foursome and the group behind and was rude to my starter as well.
