Pace of play slow

The front 9 was 2:10 not bad on a Sunday afternoon. The wheels came off on the back 9 with a 2:35 time. Would have liked to see a ranger as there were really just 2 foursomes slowing things down. One of the foursomes drove all over the 18 th hole with it being cart path only and still no ranger.

Hidden Gem

Well maintained and I have to give credit to the people that play there. Everyone fixes divids in the fairway as well as pitch marks on the greens . Pin placements can be challenging but over all fair. Just a great hidden gem. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, I do recommend car pooling if possible.

Hilly

Hilly course with holes reminscent of Aronimink & Merion West. I walked, & most ride here. It can be tough on the legs with all the up/down. The greens play true. Everything was well maintained. I wish the score card had a hole map. On many holes I wasn't sure where I was aiming.

No space to relax

Most courses have some easy holes where you can pretty much know you'll get a good score unless you completely muck it up. Replaying this round in my head, there's not a single hole where you get easy shots to secure your par. If the fairway is forgiving, the approach will challenge you. If those two shots are average difficultly, the green can bite you. The one exception is the short/simple par 3 #4.

It's not so much that trouble is lurking on every hole, But if you don't control your shot, it will end up in a funky lie well above or below your feet, or it will fall of the steep edge of the green, or it will skitter from the middle of the fairway into the rough.

This was my 4th time playing the course and I really, really like it, but you alway have to earn your score. It was a windy day with a pretty steady 12-15 breeze, which made the course even harder and I would rate it "extremely challenging" in windy conditions. But greens were excellent and fast/consistent, and you could get some good rollout in drives in the fairway.

Highly recommend this course

My brother and I decided late this afternoon to play a round of golf. We called around and this place had open times. I must say for the price this place was well worth it. One of the better courses I've been to. Great layout and wonderful views. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
