I Recommend This Course
Nice conditions
Compared to 2021 when I last played here the course conditions are dramatically improved. I would recommend this courses as a great value.
Unfortunately our threesome had a single join us and this person was clueless as to ready golf and pace of play. Totally ruined the experience because we had to let one group through and finished another group on our tails. Will definitely return.

Great course but very slow
Loved the course. Conditions were great. Pace of play was unfortunately quite poor. Need a Marshall out there to get people moving.

Greens are good. Fairways and tees are for the most part good. Bunkers are good as well. Little rough when you get off the fairway.
Original design is a good test. Great value for the money.
