Extremely hilly course very difficult in the best of conditions. Recent heavy rain made the course almost unplayable. I'll try again in the summer.

Bay View - need course knowledge

The checkin process was very good, nice staff. We started on-time and pace of play was great (it was a Thursday) so we finished in 4 hours 15 minutes.

You really need someone in the group that has played this course to maximize your opportunities. Overall, we enjoyed the course and the conditions of the tee boxes, fairways and greens were very good.

Fair conditions, considering!

Played day after some rain the evening before, but overall, condition of the course was not too bad! This course is challenging, definitely not for beginners!

Fun course

Fun course with impossible greens. Sloped greens with bad pin location make this course challenging. Otherwise fun, pretty tee shots. Make sure you land close to the pin on approach shots and chips.

Narrow fairways and hilly terrains

Narrow fairways in the back 9 and very hilly terrains make this a very difficult course overall. Every time I come here, I lose a bunch of balls and my sanity!

Slow Play, Dangerous Hole Layout

Got hit into multiple times from opposing and side holes, twice getting hit on the cart. Even if you hit the fair, the slope will likely bring it to the side rough.
