Haven’t played this course in a few years. Always remember it being in decent shape.but not great. Man was I surprised, Course was probably in better shape than 90 percent of courses I’ve played the past 2 years. Fairways and greens watered and in great shape. Tee boxes in great shape. Bunkers were all playable. Staff was friendly and courteous! Definitely will be back soon! Our 3 some finished in under 4 hours. 👍👍👍👍

Beautiful layout
Some short holes and a lot of doglegs. Par 3s not outrageously long and a nice clubhouse. Driving range and massive short game area available
