I Recommend This Course
A gem of a shorter course
I would recommend the course to anyone, but especially seniors and women, because the forward tees are very friendly and scorable.
The course is in good condition, the pace of play was excellent on a weekday afternoon, and the layout is varied and fun. A positive is that there is limited water and limited sand, which makes it friendlier for non- pros.
Everything, including the value was A or A+. I will be back!

Not bad, decent shape
I had heard great things about this course and was slightly disappointed just because my expectations were a little too high. The fairways were tight and a little spotty and the greens looked decent but didn’t roll very true. The staff and clubhouse were nice and I had a good time.
