Lots of great views and certainly challenged you to make choices. Pace of play was slow, but otherwise it was awesome.

Don’t have to be a scratch golfer to enjoy this course. One of the courses in the complex that anyone can play. But, there are challenges for the better players as well.

Great course with Beautiful Views
The course is beautiful, heavily wooded course with rolling hills and some severe elevation changes that made the course fun to play. It was in great shape and the service was very good. One of the best values in the area, I highly recommend this course!

Beautiful course
Very scenic, In great shape and very playable. Could use better directions from hole to hole, like some arrows to send you in the right direction to the next hole. Occasionally guessed wrong but never really got too lost.
