Very pedestrian

Not much imagination, most shots are 90-100 yards, there isn’t much incentive to use longer clubs. Beautiful course, seems to be taken care of.

Hidden gem for short game

Great part three course!

Great part three course that you can play in two hours or less. I read the reviews before I booked and it was very much what I read. Beautifully groomed course; it really worked out well for me because I was struggling with any shots that required me to cross over water and for about 60% of the holes have water in play, it gave me a great chance to build up my confidence and use my irons and work on the short game.

Sharpen your short game

1. You walk!

2. Don't use a tee and get some real practice.

3. Play in about 2 hours!

4. Nice little track.

Short Game Practice

Course was in great shape. My only critique is that not everyone fixes their ball marks on the greens. With the holes averaging around 100yds there are a lot of ball marks.

It’s a minor gripe considering how well the course is maintained

Great Course but....

The course is as nice as it gets but there wasnt a bathroom available to use. In my book thats a deal breaker. Ill check to see if it was just a temporary thing the next time I play. One other thing they should do is rope off, erect a sign or plant a bush in front of the walkway as you exit hole 18. I almost tripped and fell because I didnt see the cement walkway protrusion. Very dangerous. Make no mistake though. This is a very nice executive course.
