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.

Vacation

I’m a 10 to 12 handicap. Golf course was in excellent condition. The only thing is I thought the golf course played longer then what it says. Choose your tee box carefully. Enjoy your round

Very good

The course, because of its location, is very flat. It was in good condition the day we played and was not crowded. In fact we almost had the place to ourselves. I would say for the average golfer it's a very good place and we will play there again.
