Fun change of pace.

Enjoyed getting in a round only hitting driver twice. Good variety of holes with some challenging par 3s. Only problem was people not repairing or incorrectly repairing ball marks on bent greens.

Look forward to playing again knowing what to hit on couple of holes.

Nice track

Great condition. Awesome views. Only gripe is lack of amenities. Not much water stations and the coke machine at the turn ate our money. Still a nice place to play.

Highly recommend

Beautiful course, great layout. It is a resort course so you get players not familiar with courtesy rules for fast pace. Be forewarned. Marshals on front nine, no where to be found on back nine. Course is well kept.

Good luck

This is the toughest course in the area and it isn’t even close. Par 68 has no room for error and there isn’t an easy “birdie” hole on the course If you’re out of position on the par 4’s, you’re toast, and the greens on every hole is like the slanted room at the close by tourist trap Mystery Hill. It’s a short course yes, but if you’re out of sorts with long irons and wedges you don’t stand a chance here.
