Great Course

I was very pleased. The course is setup well no matter what your handicap is. The greens are very challenging, which I liked. I will be going out there again.

Firm

This course is in good shape considering the time of year and it's age. Most of the course was very firm but there are some wet muddy spots around the greens due to the collection areas. Nothing out of the ordinary for the time of year. Greens have massive movement and really punish you if you find the wrong side. I thought the layout was OK, a little uninspiring from a compete from scratch design. Very little elevation change. There are a few tricky drives but for the most part this is a second shot golf course.

Average at Best

Played this course for the first time on Father's Day. The practice facility was decent. The course itself is very firm...especially the greens. I suspect that's what you get with a new course. However, some, not all of the greens had very gimmicky surfaces. Some needed windmills, some needed the swinging donkey tail. Bunkers were good and had plenty of firm sand. Overall the course is nothing special. Very typical layout. If you're coming from the east side of town, I would not recommend the hour+ trip to get there. Cheers.

Has Potential

It's a new course and I get that. Clubhouse, facilities, and staff are amazing. Course is in ok shape but every hole construction is going on. Whether it's course maintenance or new home builds.

I'll definitely play it again but not til 2022. Hopefully the dust settles

Course Conditions

Tees are in good shape, Fairways where nice but hard so hitting a good drive would turn out to be a bad drive because of where the ball would end up Sand Traps/ Water/ OB ect. Greens where fast but hard, never saw one ball mark. Very tricky breaks on the greens. Sand Traps are nice. Nice course but still needs to mature a lot.
