Good value comparative to others

This course is in very good shape and a very good layout for the price.
Most courses that compare are in the low $70's (overpriced).
If you don't need all of the bells and whistles, just want a nice golf course for the money, this is the place.
We will be back.

Interesting green complexes

We played in 2h57m on Saturday morning, second group out. Course was in good shape, but as we played we noticed the pin positions were in some very interesting places on the greens. The greens here are very pitched and can be quite severe. If the greens were really fast, there were some positions on that day where one couldn't keep the ball on the green. Overall, an enjoyable course that can be made very difficult with the extreme pin placement and a bit of wind.

Excellent course

I've played this course many times and I like the layout. Always in great condition. Greens are fast but readable. Play seems to move well. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rangers have authority and arn't afraid to use it. Will play there often again.

Excellent links style course.

The course is a great test. The greens and fairways are in terrific shape. Watch out for the prevailing winds.

Really Fun Course

This course has some great character holes. The greens were in awesome shape and very quick. Te fairways were also well maintained. Once you move off the fairways and greens the course left a bit to be desired but frankly you shouldn't be playing from there anyway right? The pace of play was fair especially given the difficulty of some of the holes. Every time I haveplayed here I find my self excited to come back again.
