Nice course and incredibly challenging greens(fast) and used golfnow for a great discount. Only thing I would say is to have a course layout because if you've never played there you may have trouble on some holes with water and direction. On scorecard no layout and had no layout booklets. All in all a great experience. 4.5/5

Welcoming staff - fun course!

Pro shop was friendly and informative. Ample range, chipping, and putting area. Not too busy. A few of the greens had some issues. Nice long par fives. Challenging with water and bunkers. Wonderful wildlife. Just a chill day of golf!

Solid Layout & Fair

Enjoyed playing GS,good pace of play 4 hrs. Course layout is fairly wide open, some water and sand but really fair. The greens are fantastic and rolling well, would qualify them as fast, much undulating and some tight pin placements day we played, back to front green slope can be severe and punishing. Missed a 8 ft birdie from a side hill pin high shot, rolled past and thought it would end up a foot long, then it rolled 25 down the green, not happy but did laugh, hole 8. I’ll be back on this trip soon.
