The weather was great. Of course it's winter and the fairways are brown. The first six greens were lightning fast and the undulations very severe. It was crowded because of the weather so a slower pace than normal. Overall it was in quite good shape with a lot of up and down with the hills. Would most likely play again when the course greened up

Awesome course

No driving range currently. This is the reason I only gave four stars. There is only a putting and chipping area. However they are planning on make a brand new driving range facility hopefully by spring. I think was said it will be indoors or covered or something like. The course was beautiful today. Really fun course. Would highly recommend.

Wow!

After one playthrough, this course has jumped to my absolute favorite around! It was given a "make-over" in 2019, and I never played it before then, but it is perfection now. Forgiving enough for the beginners to enjoy, yet rewarding for the experienced, my approaches to the green always left me with appreciation and a smile (even if my shot did not haha). Can't recommend enough.
