Challenging but fun

Course is really a challenge, the views of surroundings is unparallele, and the course is fun and doable for the average golfer.

Great views on very good course.

Always enjoy playing here with spectacular views and lack of city noise.

Course has good driving range and putting green. Tiny elevated practice green is not cut short and the practice sand trap is not in good shape. Also most sand traps on the course do not have enough sand. Varied layout of holes is a definite plus with good risk reward ratio.

Some inconsistency in green speeds.

Played in ideal weather making the views even better.

Course and personnel really good. GolfNow a big problem.

Always enjoy playing this course. Design plus views plus great personnel and, yes, wind make this a fun time.

GolfNow needs to make amends with course right away. This course needs reasonable support from GolfNow if GolfNow wants my support.

We played this course in Gale force conditions

This course as always was in great shape but the weAther was a challenge. It started out windy and sunny and got worse from there. The greens were marvelous. The tees were excellent albeit a little tight. The value was pretty good paying 48.00 for a 1:24 PM start time. We played the round in 3 hours 20 minutes.

If there is golf in Heaven....

If there is golf in Heaven, and I pray there is, this would be the setting I would imagine! Breathless is the only way I can describe the views and the ambiance of the setting. Plus, the layout is varied, (the back nine greens are definitely more of a challenge), and every hole presents a different sight line or strategic approach. Great place to enjoy our game!

Got stung by yellowjackets otherwise nice round

There was a yellowjacket nest in the left greenside bunker of the 15th hole. I find it hard to believe I was the first one to notice this as it was a well-developed nest, but c'est la vie.

Course is not long, but challenging because the fairways are narrow with the rough encroaching (i.e., narrow landing areas) much more than you perceive at the tee box. I hit numerous straight drives with irons off the tee to be safe only to find I was in the rough where it curved into the middle of the hole.

My iOS GPS golf app wasn't a huge help in determining where the shortgrass was. The 17th green was in bad shape otherwise the greens were in decent condition. I felt the putting green was faster than the actual greens.

This is a decent course but bit overpriced. Staff was friendly. Would've been nice if they had some water on the course or somewhere we can fill up a water bottle even if it was on like the third hole ior the 12 hole. Great scenery
