Tough course for a golfer of my ability.

Was going along fine even though we had to wait on the group ahead of us through 9 holes. we stopped in the club house for water and snacks to go, then right to the back nine. About 4 holes in a ranger stopped and told us we needed to speed up. Should not be reprimanded for a short stop at the clubhouse.

Great course, just packed with golfers. Expect over 2 hours per 9 holes. Sometimes hard to get onto course with so many outings booked.

Must Play

I played the course for my first time with a member there. I was the first tee time out and the weather was perfect. The course is very challenging off the tee. if its gone, its gone. The greens are a work of art. Not forgiving one bit on the approach shots. Would highly recommend.

Challenging

The course is beautiful and always immaculately maintained. The rough is difficult and the greens run fast and true. The wildly fe is a nice bonus.

speedy greens and awesome!

The course is in great shape, it is not an easy course and the greens are very fast 11-12 range. Fun to play, paired up with a member, Doug who was great as was his buddy.
