Hidden gem!
Super fun course. Not super long on the score card but plays longer due to several holes requiring a layup rather than driver. Overall great experience. Hope to play again!

Beautiful area, odd layout
Had a nice time on the course, but this is a pretty rough layout. most consistently narrow fairways I’ve ever played. I had to take less than driver on almost every par 4 and 5. Lots of weird forced shots and fairways that narrow off forcing you to take less. A bunch of forced carries too, but those were more manageable. If you drive the ball long I would stay away. Course was in ok shape, some of the greens were burnt up. Pretty slow play, took us 5 hours. Not worth 100 bucks in my opinion, even with range balls, food and drinks.

Very Nice
Excellent course. A little pricey but food and range balls are included. Wish I would have asked about the GPS on the cart as I never did figure out how to use it but I figure that’s my problem. .

Just great course
This is the beautiful course I've ever played.
More than 10 holes are along the lake and
the lay out is fun and tough. The fairway
need better management. Over all superb.
