Too tough for Seniors
The golf course has changed dramatically since all the Covid work. There are almost no flat lies. The greens with unreadable humps, to say nothing of ridiculous pin placements.
In summary: not for me or nearly any other Senior.

Tough course but fair
Played at 12:45 on a Wednesday and played in 3 hours. Greens are hard, so land them on the front and roll them back.
Hard course, medium/fast paced greens but I thought it was very fair with great course conditions. Would play again with the hot deal pricing.

Great course for skilled golfers
This is NOT a course for the recreational or vacationing golfer. Must be a skilled golfer to truly enjoy this course. Elevated sloped fast greens that will not hold your ball.
