Challenging and beautiful

Very nice course. The course was very well kept. Fairways and greens were great. Uphill holes were tough. Tons of elevation holes where you can take a picture. Hidden gem. Really enjoyed our round.

Beautiful, challenging course

Beautiful wooded and hilly course with many blind shots that challenges every level of golfer. What a scenic course to play with dramatic elevation changes and twisty fairways with long carries.

First time playing and played alone so didn’t know where to place shots. Need to play again to appreciate more of the course design and beauty.

Not worth the money

We will never go back. The layout is good but the course is in terrible shape.

Very good value on the hot deal.

The greens and the layout of the course are really nice. Most of the fairways and tee boxes were good. We got to the eighth hole after 1 1/2 hours and then it took over 3 hours to play the next 10 holes. We saw a Ranger, but nobody did anything as the Group in front of us were looking for everybody’s golf balls all over the place.

Beautiful Course!

Beautiful course! Takes you up to the top of hills and down in the valleys. Very quiet and relaxing. There is a lot of walking up and down hills on the course where carts can not go.

Less than par

Played on 7/7, not paired with anyone. Only saw a couple of people playing. The staff were all very nice. Carts are gas, no coolers or GPS. No beverage cart. They were watering and mowing everywhere so a couple of tee boxes were not accessible. Some of the forward tee boxes were just placed in the fairways. The roughs were really long and you could easily lose balls even watching them land. The fairway grass was long and there are no divot filler containers on the carts. Greens were ok but some had dry patches. Bunkers were pebbly hard sand/dirt. Part of this course is ski lift/runs. There was some good scenery. Probably not a course we will play again.

Nice course

There was water on the course but no cups. The cart paths on some holes are very rough need to be fixed.

Nice Up North Course

Generous fairways. First hole is a blind tee shot. Slow play. 2 1/2 hours for front nine. 3 1/2 hours for 12 holes. Need a Ranger to move slow groups.
