Worth the drive.

Gorgeous course. Greens are still too firm and you can't fly balls into them but being a new course it's understandable. No bar or restaurant or snack bar. It's a gem to play though. A true challenge though so bring your A game!!!

Great Golf Course

We love playing this course . Anxiously awaiting rates to drop to play it more often. Winter rates are ridiculously high.

We were lucky to snag a last minute cancellation rate through Gol Now. The windy conditions were the only drawback to our day.

Great course

Great fun course with a lot of options on most tees. The only downfall was they let let walkers go out after 3pm. This made for a 4 hr round last closer to 5 hrs.

Great staff

Best in area

Course conditions are excellent. Expect to have more 3 putts than you’re used to. Many more! Play early to avoid a slow round. Expensive but nice. Can be extremely windy. Built for better players.

Pace of play was totally unacceptable

Great course but unfortunately the pace of play was desperate! Complained a few times however was just advised it’s because there are three pAr 5 and three par 3 that creates a bottleneck!

5 hour rounds are never good especially when you have to wait for every shot

Great Golfcourse

Best course conditions I ever played.Wide fairways and huge greens- it’s great fun to play.

The course is brand new and a lot of trees are just plantet, in the future ist must be wonderful.

The Club is difficult to find, no help by gps actually.

There is a lot of housbilding activities, but it disturbs not so much.

Best gps in golfcarts for exact orientation
