Too many computer generated pin spots in crazy locations.

Specifically, the 14th hole. Five feet from the edge of the green and at the bottom of a ridge.

I mentioned this to the greens keeper and he replied like a real idiot.

Solid Golf Course

Course was in very good shape. Well manicured fairways and greens. Bunkers were good as well. Very nice facility overall with range and short game practice area. GPS on the carts was nice to have. Gas carts which I found unusual, considering the money they out into this place but great value overall.

Tricky Greens

Well maintained track which is protected primarily by the greens. Subtle nuances deceive the golfer on the greens protecting par.

Course was in great condition. Playing time was 3:58 on a perfect Friday afternoon. Never felt rushed and was never waiting. I was the only walker in the 4-Some.

Nice time

Played quick. The only issue no one takes traps or fixes ball marks. If the rangers made this a priority that would help

Has everything you want

My only negative thing about this course is that is a par 70. Great range with trackman that you can use right on your phone. Good chipping practice area. A halfway house that’s nicely stocked that you pass at least 3 times while playing and they still have a cart girl out some times. Great clubhouse. Not a super hard course, classic parkland style. Nice GPS on the carts.

A must play 3-4 times a year.

I have played his course a lot. Over the last few years, the new club house and amenities are country club like and feel. The course is a lot of fun using most clubs in your bag. There is room for error on most holes without jeopardizing your round. Many different looks off the tee and a wonderful layout. The halfway house is in the right location to get water, food etc from many holes. Pace of play was perfect. Not being pushed and not waiting on a busy weekend is great. Go out there and enjoy this course!
