Wide fairways....Huge Greens

This course will severely test your game...Don't let wide fairways and huge greens lull you into thinking "I can score here"....Not the case...Long with high slope ratings....This course will have you talking to your self...You had better be on your iron game and chipping/putting... Guarantee you will shoot 3 to 5 strokes over your handicap.....Good thing is.... YOU WILL want to go back....Mike Strantz gem....Links style

Beautiful & challenging course

Beautiful course...very challenging! With all of the blind shots and wind, pulling the correct club was never easy. No hole on the course is an easy birdie...every shot requires complete attention, even on the green.

A great course that you need to play more than once.

The course is very tough; many blind shots, elevation changes, and difficult greens. If you like Tobacco Road, this is another Mike Strantz.

A comment or 2 as to why would be helpful, instead of just whining.
