Mediocre

Felt more like playing a mid-priced daily fee course in Florida. Quite forgettable and loving off the glory of its sister course on property. Not going to be an issue for most but currently the course is coming off overseeding - fairways are extremely soft (think plugged balls in fairway) and quite shaggy. I’d stay away for the next couple of weeks.

Fun day

Even though it was cart path only, we finished in just around four hours and fifteen minutes. Course was in really good shape and the greens were firm and fast. Staff could not have been any more friendly and helpful. The range of tee selection, should accommodate any level of player. Short and long holes will enable you to use just about all of your clubs. Lots of picturesque landscape to look at as you make your way out and back.
