Nice course, nice people

I've played here a couple times and have always had a good experience. We played blue/red this time. Both were very well manicured, greens were smooth with few ball scars. Fairways were in great shape and the rough was cut down to about 2 inches but played tougher than it looked due to the thickness from all the rain, plus we played in the early dew. Bunkers on the red course were outstanding, don't see nice fluffy white sand too often like this around this area. All 3 sides are similarly hilly but not over the top. A very fair challenge for the average golfer. The clubhouse is really nice and the carts were in great shape. One negative, range was mats only on this day, not sure if that is always the case as it seems they have grass tees just couldn't use them this day. Staff made us really feel at home.

Rough Round

1st time in a long time I've played here and there is a reason why I don't normally play here. Staff was great, rate was great, pace of play was horribly slow. Member tournament was going on and unfortunately they thought they were professionals to the 10 degree. Tee boxes weren't mowed, other than that course was in great shape and the greens were fast. Didn't finish. couldn't stomach the wait. Maybe next year.

Great layout for a 1966 generation course

Note: Aeration is beginning on the fairways and soon the greens.

Just a really nice layout; Forgiving for errant shots with huge old growth trees protecting the fairways.

Very nice 27 hole course.

This course is very nice and with 3 nines it gives you several options for 18 holes. The greens were fast and the fairways were tight.

A nice return visit

Had not played here for several years, but enjoyed this round of golf thoroughly. I was paired up with a father and son twosome. Both were extremely friendly and perfect companions for the round. The course was in fairly good shape; the greens well maintained and running smoothly. The pace of play was excellent, especially for a Friday afternoon. The staff was extremely friendly, including the grill staff. I had two relaxing drafts after the round as well as some appetizers. I met the owner of the club who was very gracious, offering me a glass of wine when he heard that I was considering a membership. Overall, an extremely enjoyable day.

Good value, well maintained course

A nice facility, neat and clean, nice carts, nice clubhouse. Course was well kept, greens were very nice with challenging slopes at times, fairways were in good shape and rough was mowed relatively short (I would know). Course is traditional tree lined with few houses coming into the picture, some narrow fairways, some generous. Not many water hazards and not too many OBs. Bunkers were sand and clay mixture making them rather hard and difficult to predict. Nice course would play again and recommend.
