Stay on the fairway
Very nice course off the beaten path. Wide open for the most part, but if you're off the fairway good luck finding your ball. Most holes were interesting layouts, not just straight tee to green. Greens were well groomed. Got paired up with a couple of locals who were very entertaining.

Conditions not great
Last 2 times played here in past 2 years conditions not great, rough so high almost unplayable if you can find your ball. Course used to always be amazing. Not sure what happened.

Seemed a little behind on upkeep
Had high hopes for this course considering its history. The rough was so high we lost several balls in the first cut. Found tons of balls others had lost in the first cut.
The signage and facility is fairly run down. Great layout but if you have any balls outside of fairway you’ve prob lost your ball. Extremely fast greens. Hitting out of first cut rough was almost impossible since grass was 6-8" deep.
