Interesting course

Good value for 18 holes with a cart . There are many hills that make it challenging. Staff is nice.

Not worth the money

This course pace of play is very poor and the tee boxes are not well kept. I was in a group of 2, Thursday at 11:10am. The course was wide open but somehow the pace of play was awful. It took 22 minutes to finish one hole, and 1hr to finish 3 holes because of the 2 groups in front who couldn’t play. The group in front of me would take 2-3 shots off the tee and the ball wouldn’t even go past the front tees which is unacceptable when you are holding up the pace of play. It would have been a 6hr round. I paid $52 to play 18 and only played 9 cause it was so bad. I wish I got my money back. Also, they do not maintain the tee box. Feels like I’m hitting in the rough. I would not recommend this course mainly due to poor pace of play

Drippy

Rainy Sunday, but the course was in great shape. Beautiful greens and very shapely holes as it doubles as a ski resort. Many elevation changes make it interesting.

Condition is improving

Have avoided this course for years due to maintenance but see some real improvement. Greens were in good shape though slower than the practice green. Fairways are not as bumpy as before. Tee box grass was too long (lawn length) on most tees, fairway cut was generous. The first four on the ski hill are still brutal but playable but a brutal walk up & down. Will return to play it again.

Course Conditions

Unfortunately I thought the course conditions were bad. The greens were in good shape but the tees were really rough. I had a hard time finding a good spot to tee my ball. The fairways were a little dry & rough also. That being said it’s a great layout and the back nine has beautiful views . The staff was friendly
