Incredible course. Played the pioneer and gambler. My wife who is a high handicap really enjoyed the Pioneer, but still managed to have fun on the gambler. Beautiful views and great condition. Will play again.

1st visit

We really enjoyed the golf….course was in great shape, a bit challenging but fun. The views were awesome. We had booked tee time through GolfNow and got a great deal!

The amenities were very nice, although the clubhouse had a private function in the evening and we were unable to go in and have dinner afterwards, which was disappointing.

Overall a good experience.
