Palmer designed course. Excellent layout

I thought the GC was great and challenging. The most undulating (hilly) I have ever played. The one rather flat hole par 5 will also eat your lunch. Views were great. ARNY DID A GREAT JOB IN THE LAYOUT.. IAM from a Country Club background in Florida and was disappointed in the Tee boxes conditions. Nothing flat. A good grounds keeper would address the issue in off season. I realize there are five golf courses but hire golf grounds keepers not landscapers. Will play again

Greens perfect. Fun layout. Water too much in some areas.3 hrs 30 minutes.

Friend and I got a GolfNow deal for $55 at 8am Fairways soggy in some areas but greens perfect. I really like the back nine variety of holes with elevation changes, woods, and some fairly open holes. Whomever is taking care of the greens should get a raise - rarely find an unrepaired ball mark. Staff friendly,, halfway house good breakfast sandwich. Pace of play 3 hrs 30 minutes! Will be back!

Mixed feelings

Some very soggy fairways, greens in excellent condition.

Course is difficult but knew that , soggy fairways prevented some roll out, some tee boxes could use some better conditioning.

No drinking water on course. $13 turkey wrap at halfway house. Friendly employees at halfway shack and cart pick up/ return.

4 hour 15 minutes - we were a twosome waiting on n foursome. Moved along OK.
