Great course

I travel and play golf in a lot of states, this is one of the top courses I played recently. The quality of the greens, the layout, and the overall condition of the fairways was excellent.

Beautiful course but greens were a huge detraction

This was my second time playing this course over the span of two weeks. I am a high handicap player but struggle more with consistency than anything else. The course is beautiful and picturesque. The pace of play, this time, was very good (last time was paired with a father-young son duo that was walking and could only get through 9 holes in 3 hours). Now, the reason for my review: the greens are hard as a rock and recently sanded. I love golf, but the payoff is making a quality putt to par or birdie a hole. These greens are inconsistent and as fast as lightning. Really did take away from the experience.
