Very nice course to play.

This course is playable for all levels. As the back tees (blue) extend the course to 6600+ yards, it is playable from the back tee boxes for your average golfer. Accurate approach shots needed to place the ball in good position to shot for birdies. Very nice par 3's. Challenging 18th hole. The course is well maintained and in great condition. The green are fast and challenging. Great overall experience.

This course has great features.

Fastest greens I've experienced this year. The course was surprisingly not wet with all the rain we have had.
