Good course but leaves much to be desired

It is a challenging course that is pretty well maintained. The hole directions could use some work, I’ve gotten lost a few times. Along with the carts and cart paths. Staff and amenities are good, pricing is good.

Short but Sweet

Beautiful course where you never have to pull out a driver which makes you play and think differently. A nice change of pace.

The hills are insane!

Expect to lose a lot of balls to the slope. Fairway shots can roll out of bounds

Wouldn't play it in the winter

Check the weather before playing here. It was a bit muddy with some wet spots on the fairways, and a few areas needed mowing. Had to stick to the cart path. Better to play when it's dry for a good round.

In my experience this course is not enjoyable in the winter.
