Nice layout, great greens

Good condition for March. Greens rolled really well. Nice layout, nothing tricky. Only a couple of blind tee shots. A good challenge from the tips.

Very nice conditions

Have played a few other courses in the area and these were the nicest we have encountered. The rough was still not grown in enough, but the fairways and greens were fabulous. will return as soon as possible.

Very nice condition for a rainy February

Considering all the rain we’ve had in 2021 this course was by far the best condition of any course I’ve played in the area. Good pace of play as well as courteous staff.

Top course around

Course layout is great with right amount of difficulty. Unlike most around using water and trees, this course has the hills, water, doglegs, and elevated greens to make you think about your shot. It has new large putting greens and new practice facilities. The food at the restaurant is superb and a great price. Highly recommend
