Course Needs Work

There were dirt piles a over. Grass was spotty in a number of areas. Only good thing were the greens. I will not play this again.

Nice layout

The course is well worth the money. Fairways are in excellent condition and the greens are perfect. The rough shouldn't give you too much trouble, but watch out for some of the water that you can't see from the tee box. I love this course.

Nice Country Setting

Lots of water on the course. Sand traps not bad - greens a bit slower than usual public courses. Plenty of variety and challenges.
