Very Good Course
First time playing and pleasantly surprised. This is a very very good public course. Very challenging with a lot of variety and imagination. Greens were in impeccable condition. The 5 par threes were all different, very challenging but very fair. There is a driveable par 4 and also some longer par 4’’s with doglegs in both direction. 5 par 5’s with varying lengths. For the money this is one of the better non private courses I’ve played.
