Another nice round

I like the layout. Conditions are well maintained. Tee boxes are a little rough in places, but teeing up is not an issue. Fairways are always good. Greens have average difficulty, but play nicely.

Right now they have done airation to tee boxes and greens, but still very playable.

Amazing course, highly recommend!

Challenging course for every level of golfer. Never a dull moment. Tough greens, tight fairways, bunkers, and over-the-water shots. Overall an amazing course that you should definitely play!

Spotty

If you book with golf now don’t expect to tee off before your tee time even when you come early and the 1st. Tee is wide open. Most fairways are spotty and require you to move the ball to get a grassy lie which I hate to do. Some tees and greens are decent and others are spotty and could use some attention. Maybe the punching of the greens next week will help improving them. The course has a decent lay out except the the over abundance of water which seems to be exactly where my ball ends up.

Course was in good shape but finding the next hole on some greens was ruff. I’m glad I played with other people that knew the course. Loved the course.
