Super course for the true golfer
Greens were in great shape and the fairways were the best they've been in a while. The fairway aeration has made a significant difference. The course receives continuous care and maintenance - something that generally lacks at most courses - especially in this price range. The course is being transformed into something special. But the layout is what makes this place shine. You will become a better golfer by playing this course - and have fun doing it. I play it frequently from the back tees and it is a true test of golf. There are some easy holes and some real tough ones. Don't let the course yardage fool you. There is plenty of challenge for the good golfer.
