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.

Beautiful course, satisfactory conditions

The grass is still dormant. A heavy rain the preview days makes it feel like hitting off a wet carpet. I think I’m going to wait a few weeks before I attempt to play to give the grass a chance to grow in.

Really enjoy the course. Very challenging unless you know the course well. Play at least 2 times a month there.
