Course is always in great shape.
The condition of the course is always in good to great shape. It is a challenging course for the 18+ handicap golfer but fun to play anyway.

Demanding but great layout and variety
Tough course. Loved the design and variety. conditions were very good 1st time. 2nd time t boxes and greens were a little torn up. Only real complaint is greens didnt hold and some approach shots bounced like off a trampoline. Great up north feel and scenery. Tremendous clubhouse w/ friendly help.
