A gem for the price, fun great shape nice people

First time playing this stretch and was happily surprised. Definitely a hidden gem and one I will be back for. Course was in great shape greens were rolling quick and true. Fairways and tee boxes were good. Not a hard course but challenging and fun to play. People were great facilities were nice. More than worth what we paid planning a return trip soon.

Pins were tucked away

Nice Greens and Layout but.

Great layout and greens.

Nice gps in carts.

Course was a bit wet and had to stay on cart path which slowed down the pace but there wasn’t a lot of back to back tee times.

Downsides I would say is limited cell phone towers and reception. If you plan on using any tracking apps it might not work.

Also the course is in the middle of no where. So for most people it might be a long drive.

Tops in the area

The greens, tee boxes, and fairways were incredible. I imagine the recent rain has help but man were they spot on all 18 holes. Tough and challenging course. Tons of shade on a hot day. Pace of play was perfect. No one really close until we caught up with a group on 18 and no one remotely close behind to push us. Just a perfect day of golf except for my score lol. One of my favorite courses even though its an hour away.
