Use all your clubs

I love a course where I get to use all my clubs. This is one of those. Fairways are pretty open. Plays fair. I thought it was in nice shape and the greens were great and really fast. I enjoyed it a lot and will definitely go back.

Fun. Fair. Fast greens.

Really enjoyed the course. Got to use all the clubs in my bag. Greens were fast. Fairly open fairways. Not a big worry about losing balls. Great advantage for the women. Tees were way forward for my girlfriend. Free range balls. I'll go back for sure.

Great course for less cost in an expensive area

Very nice course with nice people. The range is right next to the 1st tee and easy to get to. range was included in the cost which was very reasonable. Especially for the area. I had a great time without being pushed or waiting. Great time and will go back for sure.

Good course!

We made a tee time without knowing what to expect. The course surprised us and we enjoyed the round immensely! Plays long on some par 4s to provide some challenge! Staff was exceptionally friendly and offered local knowledge-even the grounds keepers were helpful!!!

We will be back!

Great layout

My wife and I prefer to play with others, and the starter did his best to find a pairing for us. However none was available. The starter put us out in front of a 4 some and we were able to play the first 12 holes quickly, and the last 6 holes at a normal pace. The course design was both moderate for high handicappers and some what challenging for low handicappers. the greens were ok but could be faster. The place was peaceful and pleasant. I would play it again.
