Long course

The distance was average 6300+ but the fairways were very soft giving 0 roll. Play up tees from where you normally play if you want to enjoy your round. ps The greens had been punched within the last 2 weeks and were bumpy but playable.

Lots of Fun

This is a fun course to play. The course has been in good condition every time we've played it. The greens are especially nice for the price. A little rough on some edges (e.g. some cart path areas, some areas just off the path) but they are in the middle of improving that with new sod, etc. Otherwise, everything was really very nice. In addition to conditions and price, this is a straightforward and extremely pleasant course to play for people of any skill level.

Labor Day golf

Played the piper and bay 9's.Greens were quite quick but the course was very wet and there was no roll.

Preferred the back 9 it seemed a little more interesting with water in play on a few holes.Staff were very friendly.
