Good challenge

It’s fall now and things change in terms of course condition and other things as well that should be expected. But if you like playing in the fall when it starts to get cooler, it was a good day. Front nine is a lot of fun. The back nine can be mentally exhausting and frustrating if you aren’t familiar with it. Staying in play off the tee is a huge challenge. Getting to the green is a challenge and once you’ve there, the greens are tougher than the front nine. You need to play this course the first time, just to understand what to do the next time you play it. I don’t recommend this course for beginners or the infrequent player. This course demands well placed shots and some ball control, especially on the back nine.

great value for the $

great layout,challenging but not so hard it brings you to your knees , very fun to play. Only minor criticisms, tee boxes could use a little work and the cart paths are bad, really need to be resurfaced or replaced. Greens and fairway were excellent.

Slow!

Pace of play was awful and never a sign of a ranger. Take your money and then don't care.

Nice course and layout, maintainence issues

Carts paths were dangerous with dirt, rock and large chunks of concrete obstructing the path. Our twosome was matched up with 2 more, the starter let the other 2 go in front of us, that made 3 twosomes in a row =5 hours round on a Monday morning. Some greens crew complained about how close we were to a tee box, I explained that my playing partner had MS. When we went to the pro shop to ask for a Handicap flag, the abruptly said "No!"

Fun, Crafty Course

This was a fun course that did provide a challenge, mostly one the back nine. It’s fairly easy to avoid trouble if you play cautious. But the course had a fun layout with lots of dog legs, hills, and water placements. I would definitely play the course again. The biggest negative is that the course was way over watered and was soaking wet past 10-11am on a hot day.
