Fun First Time

Enjoyed playing here. It was an interesting setup with five par 5s (including 4 on the front 9) and five par 3s. I'd like to come back and I'll play a lot better. The course was easy if you stay in the fairway but stray and you paid the price. Overall, a nice time and I'd do it again.

Conditions of course

Greens are receptive but hard to read and fast. Can’t ask for better than that. Hidden jewel of a course in our area!!

Very nice layout

First time playing this course and was impressed by the layout. Need to know the course on several holes. Challenging but fair and in pretty good condition given the drought conditions.

Nice but probably not rerun

Nice course. I like the layout. The rough was too high. They need to mow. I didn’t like that I had to drive to the driving range and hated that I had to drop off and pick up my golf clubs. What a hassle! It also caused me to forget a couple of items. With hassle of the above two, I probably will go some place else.
