Fun Track

Really enjoyed my day here. Course overall is in good shape, fairways are green and well manicured. Putting surfaces rolled true for the most part. Course was a decent challenge for a mid handicapper like me. Like that most fairways are tree lined and water comes into play on a couple holes. Being that I got a Hot Deal made this a great value. Overall, solid course and would play here again. Only thing I don't like is that there was a cart fee not included in green fees.

Great Course - Care Of Those Playing The Course

Super course -- greens hard to read but fun to putt! Did NOT see a Marshall the whole round (teed off at 3:00) and played Front 9 in 1:30 -- Back 9 waited for SLOW 3-some on EVERY hole (2:45) which ruined the round for my wife and I. Course was great but NO player assistance during play which could have made for a complete experience. Cart $ per player is HIGH as well which made our experience less positive

Too slow!

First time, last time. Pace of play was incredibly slow -- 5 hours and 20 minutes. Did not see a course ranger the entire round. Teed off at 10:20 a.m. The course itself was in very good condition. The greens were in excellent shape, consistent and rolling true. The absence of a course layout diagram was a drawback.

First time playing. A little tougher than I expected, but enjoyed it a lot. Lots of contour to the greens but they were in good shape. Overall condition was nice for late summer. Will play again.

nice course

Very nice course, gets a little narrow in a few spot but overall pretty forgiving. Greens are nice but hard to read the right speed. Highly recommend this course if you can afford it.

This course will diffenately test your course management skills!

This course was in great condition, especially the greens. It was nice to play greens that rolled true and didn't chatter. On the down side the pace of play was very slow, we saw no player assistant all day so I have to believe that the management didn't really care. We waited on every tee box and finished abut 1.25 hrs. over normal pace of play time. There was no GPS on the cart and no hole layout on the score card, so on many of the holes we had no idea how far the hazards were especially on the holes with blind drives and deep gullies. It was very hot and the refreshment cart only came around one time, very poor service. All in all it's a beautiful course, but I doubt I'd pay this much again unless I was assured that the service had changed.

Short but very nice track.

Good value in a lovely town. Low handicap players will find it too easy. Back nine had a couple of holes that needed cleaning up.

Tree lined beauty...which offers a good challenge. Miss fairways and you will be penalized. But open enough that it is fair and playable.

Very good all around

Very good all around golf experience in a beautiful setting, I will play it many more times. The course is in great shape including greens, tees, fairways, and bunkers, all first class. Great practice facilities with a level (grass) driving range, good chipping green and 2 bunkers. Friendly and responsive staff. The only hesitation I have is the somewhat odd (Muir Graves) design, with some forced lay-ups off the tee and a few huge undulating three-level greens. However the more you play the course the more you adjust to the eccentricities and on balance it is a good layout (almost every course has a few peculiar holes). The greens are fast, smooth, and roll very true. It is also a very walkable course, much appreciated. One drawback: there is no grill, a bar only.

Very nice course and staff

My wife and I were put with a single that had played the course before. He was great at explaining the hole layout. The course is in very good condition. Tight fairways that are tree lined make straight shots a must. Fast greens and very undulating put an extra demand on keeping the ball below the hole. The staff was very nice and helpful. Did not see any views of the mountains, but the course reminded of a nice course in Tahoe. Good value for the money. Look forward to coming back.

Great golf course to experience while on vacation

the greens were rolling true, there are some reachable par 4 holes but they are challenging if you are going for it...meaning the miss can be just as good as the reward of hitting the green or close to it; you'll pay for it. Not all fairways are narrow but you best stay out of the trees. They had a great range I would come back and play again.

tee time double standards...

A big pet peeve of mine is how strict a course can be about making your tee time on time, but when they're running over 30 late theres' no compensations. No big deal, stuff happens, but throw me some free range tokens or something. All together a nice round, maybo don't blast the sprinklers until you know someones not standing on the green putting out though.

Excellent value

I played this course about 15 years ago, and it is every bit as good today as it ever has been. Teed off after noon, so it was incredibly cheap. Greens were in great shape, fairways were fantastic. I would have been happy paying twice what I paid for a course this good. My wife is a beginner, and she really enjoyed it as well, though it was a little challenging for her with all the water.

Fun Course For a Wide Range of Skill Levels

A fun and challenging course that required a wide variety of skills to play but accuracy off the tee was extremely important.
The staff is very friendly and helpful; they are also very professional. They used teamwork to make the experience fun, enjoyable and relaxing while maintaining a pace of play that was at the same time both unhurried and yet brisk enough to allow me to play the back 9 as a single between a foursome and a trio.
