First Time Playing

For the deal price it was good.

Overall the course was good- well maintained and the course is built into some hills which is a good challenge without being too aggressive.

There are 2 holes that need a bell to notify the tee box that it’s ok to drive because they are blind holes and at both holes I almost got hit while setting up for my approach shot. (And no, I wasn’t taking up too much time, pace of play is always a priority).

Additionally there needs to be more signs directing carts to the holes. There were a few times where it was not obvious, especially to first timers.

Would I play there again, yes but only at a deal price.

Keep up the pace people !

Course is in good shape except for the bunkers. The bunkers could use some sand. I was told when I teed off the course was pretty wide open. There was just a few twosomes in front of us. This was true but the twosomes in front of us were playing at an almost 5 hour pace. The ranger on the course did nothing to speed up play. This occurred on a Thursday afternoon. I can only imagine what the pace would be on the weekends with a full tee sheet.

Tough course for intermediate player

The course is beautiful and well maintained. A lot of water around the fairways which is unforgiving to hooks and slices. Be that as it may I would recommend playing around to decide foe yourself. My foursome thoroughly enjoyed our round.
