We played holes 1 to 18.
The course was in very good condition. The only negative was that we thought the greens were a little too slow.
Very comfortable golf buggies, excellent practice areas included in the fee.

Nice course but overpriced

good condition, enjoyable course, good pace of play in November, but should not be priced at $100. Range at low density balls and mats, which was very disappointing for the price.
