Wonderful improvement

This course was in bad shape 2-3 years ago, now it’s awesome and they have been working on it a bunch. GPS golf carts and an awesome staff.

Nice track!

Wide fairways, elevation changes, and large greens, what's not to enjoy? Minimal-to-no water (some small creeks/run-offs). On a hot day with dry grounds, the ball will bounce and roll far, hopefully in the favor of the person hitting! I am a high handicap player but had 6 holes of putting for birdie opportunities (not including par 3's). 8am weekday tee time, halfway house wasn't open until about 11am and no beverage cart out but that could very well be due to being May and a weekday. Person in the pro-shop area was extremely nice and helpful. Will play again.

Excellent Layout, Nice elevation changes

This course has a great design with elevated tees and greens. Hole #6 is a a gem. Fast greens and very good fairways, Will come back again.

I hope the management will keep repairing the cart paths. (Current state is not good for senior vertebral columns)

The course usually plays slower than most courses. There is no ranger. The yardage on the scorecard is not even close.as a senior that I is ok with me. However, if you are looking to play a 6000 yard course, you might want to play another course.
