Hotel with history behind it!! Photo submitted by Shypoke55 on 04/22/2019
Excellent greens, great par threes. Very very good staff, Adam, Keith & Will will take care of you. Could use a marshal.
Not bad
I've played better and I've played worse courses. It depends on the time of day you play whether it's worth the money to you. That being said, the greens are consistent and the fairways are maintained, but not meticulous so. The course itself is very challenging, especially anything blue tee or longer. I'd recommend this course to anyone at any skill level.
Always enjoy
I always enjoy playing this majestic course. It is very well maintained year round, and provides the kind of challenge that keeps you coming back - my only problem is that I live 1 hour and 15 minutes from the facility otherwise I would be playing there much more frequently.
Worth playing
Older course in need of refurbishment. Nice layout and good value for the $$
Long player but fun
Fun course ... long for ole guys like me but good game for your money
Pace of Play
Finished golfing in 3 hours 30 minutes great day for golf and great pace of play. Greens were nice and rolled good. Fairways had a couple of really wet areas but not to bad.
nice course in decent shape
+ Layout is not tricky but does require some shot-making. Smaller greens and all were in good shape
- course conditions were 'average', hoping for a little better for January.
We liked to layout of the course but it needs some general up keep,,,,blugging the course. very compact!
Grande Vision
Not terrible but nothing special either. It seems to have been someone's dream for a championship golf course which just hasn't materialized. Highlights are the large mature trees and the fact that it isn't stuck in the middle of a housing development.
