Great course

Great course to golf on, rate of play was excellent and the course has come challenging holes. The greens were playing much faster than expected for the weather conditions. I would definitely replay this course.

Challenging course

First time playing. Average golfer with some physical limitations. I played the front tees and the course still played long for me. There also was a lot of elevation change and several blind shots on the course, making it even more difficult. I LIKED the course, just a bit more challenging than I can handle.

Fun Course!

The course was in great shape and very unique however the course was very blind and every shot felt like it was taken on some slope. This course could really benefit from GPS. Every par 3 felt like the same short distance.
