Not worth full price

Played as part of a Deal Time and not sure it was worth the $55 we paid. Definitely wouldn't have been happy at $80

Greens had been recently aerated and were bumpy and inconsistent on speed. They were also inconsistent on approach shots with some holding and other rolling way out.

Course lay out had too many blind shots with the cart GPS warning you of them but no way for groups to communicate the way was clear, On top of that roughly half the holes are cart path only meaning walking up and down steep hills to get to your ball. Those same elevation changes meant you need a range finder and to bring multiple clubs to your airway shots.

Several tee boxes were in rough shape and others had such thick grass that even using a tee on some of the par 3's, your club could get hung up.

Fairways were a mixed bag, some were great and others with too thick grass. Rough was always a challenge to get down to the ball.

Layout was visibly pleasant and hole 12 is pretty special (teeing off 165 ft above the hole).

I won't be playing here again.

Fun to play

This was our first time to play here. I only have 2 complaints. Only have nets to hit into if want to warm up and the greens looked a little rough in spots but I never had a putt that was affected by any of those spots. It’s a fun and challenging layout. Long fairways are very narrow and the rough is unpredictable. Your ball can settle down or it can stay up a little. Very tough out of rough if can’t keep it in the fairway. A couple holes you can think hit good shot and the slope can carry it out of fairway. 10 is a fun hole. Should hit an iron but I went with driver, chanced it and just played it off the hill Worked perfect. 12 is around a 200 ft drop and really cool.

Beautiful course with tight fairways. Deep roughs. Only thing lacking is driving range or driving cage for warm up. I’ll be back!

Great course but tough.

This course is for experienced golfers in good physical condition. Miss the fairway and good luck finding the ball in the deep bermuda. In my opinion there were several areas where you couldnt drive the carts, so lots of walking and hard on older golfers! It was hot and it seemed every hole we were looking for golf balls. We were paired with two other men who frequently lost golf balls and we tried to help find theirs. Im 75, it very good shape, but the heat the hills and time spent looking for golf balls wore me out. There should be water and or drinks available on the course!

Nice track

Course is really a tale of two nines. Front is mostly open while the back is tree lined and tight. Par threes are a real challenge from the back tees. Overall a good test and a good experience.
