Awesome round!

Loved the course layout from start to finish. Lots of hills and blind shots which made it fun and very challenging. The greens, tee boxes, and fairways were in great shape, you can see the maintenance crew puts in the work there. Definitely will be back!

One more thing….

It is challenging but has some forgiving holes too. All it needs is a practice range and it would be among the best.

Good Course for the Money

Played here during our Family reunion trip. Course is set in the Mountains. Great setting and great views from several Tee's especially the 1st. A few tight fairways and plenty of open fairways. Greens were super slow but in great condition. NO Practise Range. They do have a practice putting area. The Grill is closed on Sunday and Monday which was a bummer but there is plenty of places two minutes down the street to get food. Pro Shop was ok. I like to pick up shirts when I visit different courses but they didn't have any that I could see.
