First time

We enjoyed our round and here are my negative comments. The greens were in great shape but very slow. Other then the par 3’s there was no need for cart paths only on some holes as the course was bone dry. There were lots of bare spots anywhere off the fairways.

Excellent experience

I took my three sons to this course for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at the course conditions during the hot summer. Everything was in excellent condition… full fairways cut perfectly, sand traps the were like powdered snow, greens that were perfect for putting and challenged your skill level no matter what your experience is. I couldn’t have been happier. I am 52 years old and have been playing golf since I was 11.. I would highly recommend this course.
