Ryder Cup Format with our 2 groups Photo submitted by Matthew6624674 on 11/05/2012
Ok place to olay
Not a bad place to play but very slow play. Over 2 hrs for nine and ended up just leaving. Driving range is mats only and practice green is ok. They could do more to speed up play, have beverage cart out to sell drinks/food. For the price there are other places to play that I feel are better value.

Heavily bunkered with uneven turf but a decent links layout
Good links layout somewhat spoiled by crab-grass infected fairways. The uneveness of the turf is similar to always playing from a divot. But the fairways are built for distance, very wide and quite fast, Pace of play was very slow, 5+-hour round. The greens were difficult but rolled true so no complaints there.
