November Golf

Weather was cold and clear, also being Nov, you cannot expect the course to be in tip top shape. Played for $28 each, so good deal. Beautiful shorter course with lots of bunkers and the greens had lots of undulations. Can't wait to play next summer when it is nicer

Interesting old school course

The course is playable but challenging. It is fairly well maintained - I've played it twice and the first time it was in great shape. The 2nd time the rough was a little ragged but it was late in the season and aeration already underway. There are several small but deep bunkers guarding many of the greens. Not much water except for I believe #7 - a par 3 which requires about 185- 190 yard carry to play directly to the green but you can bail out to the left. Good shot placement is the key to avoiding trouble with overhanging tree branches and the bunkers. Overall an enjoyable round.

Course has mature tree's and nice fairways.

Great golf experience, mature tree lined golf holes. Fairways are in great condition & you need to stay in the fairways to score well. I really enjoy older courses like Ravisloe with mature trees that are in great condition. Very enjoyable round of golf.

Classic Donald Ross Course

Fantastic old course set up. If you've played a Donald Ross course before (Pinehurst being the most prominent example), it sets up very similarly with tiny, sloping greens and gently curving fairways. It's not a super long course but visually intimidating. Late in the season the greens get a little rough, but we played it after some rain so they were managable (around 10-11 on stimp). Sand is difficult to get out of just because the bunkers are deep and it's almost a clay like sand mix. Clubhouse is gorgeous. Fantastic place to play. Would highly recommend it!
