Good course, just a tough day of golf

We played on a day when hurricane Sandy was off the east coast, so it was EXTREMELY windy and made for very tough holes. The course was in good shape and a steal for the price we paid.

Beautiful Layout

This is a very playable yet can be challenging at the same time. Fairways are ample but some shots to greens require accuracy and elevation control on distance. Greens rolled very nicely.

The course was in great shape. There has been a lot of rain lately and the course had a few wet spots.

This course is a challenging course that is worth the short road trip.

The greens are in awful shape, it's a shame too because I love this course. Everything else was in decent shape, but the greens are really struggling.

the greens are looking good!

I'm happy to say the course is being brought back from, what appeared to be,no return.I played on 09/27 and the greens were in good shape.Heading towards real good shape.
The course is enjoyable for all skill levels.(I am a low 80's golfer)
If they continue to maintain the course with the dedication they appear to have,it will be a great course to play!!
