Beautifully designed course, with enough challenge and user friendliness combined to make it really ejoyable to play.

The course was being core-aerated the day we played and this was not mentioned when we made our tee-time reservations through your service. If it had been, we would have selected another day to play. Because of this, we had to play the front 9 twice. Disappointing, to say the least.

This is a lovely course: great design, really interesting and challenging greens w/lots of break and undulations while being large and easy to reach in regulation. The surroundings are magical, an environmental wonder. The staff and patrons were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful.

We'll definitely return in a bit to play again when the Bermuda grass has grown back in after our tough Spring...

Course has a great layout for the average golfer

From check in to the end of the back nine was a total delight. Everyone we dealt with were friendly an offered every help to make our outing successful. Course was in great shape and offered a challenging task. Greens are very good and hard to read at the same time.

Nice course that care be walked.

This course layout is great for walking, the holes are nicely separated but the distance from green to next tee is excellent. Tree lined requiring good shot placement but short enough to not be overwhelming. Greens are well maintained , hard and fast.
