Nice Layout

Overall, enjoyed the round. Challenging layout that can play quite long but fair. Greens were aerated, but rolled well. Pace of play fine, but, looks like a course for the weekend golfer so pace can get slow. Would recommend trying this course

Great course

Was in town working for a little bit and had the opportunity to golf this course twice. Well maintained, challenging course. My only complaint would be they didn't have any NA beer available. Otherwise everything was great.

Great course

Was a well kept course with a some challenging doglegs, bunkers and water hazards. Was in town for work and would definitely play it again any time I am in the area.

Really Good Muni

Nice muni course. At the moment, because of all the rain this past week, the course was still soppy and all the bunkers were washed out and in terrible shape. Been playing this course for yrs and it does get better during the season. Pace of play here does not though....seems to have gotten really bad...5hrs on a weekday is pretty slow!
