Great layout
As with most Robert Trent Jones designed courses, the layout is great. No weird holes or the like. It is in a beautiful setting in the hills.
The reason for the less than top rating is the condition of the course. Many of the greens had bad spots and the green edges were weed covered. It just seemed that for a very nice high quality course, it lacked care. Most of the sand traps were also in poor shape. We liked playing the course, our first time, and would likely go back.
Greens are in horrible shape
It’s sad that the owners cannot maintain this storied Robert Trent Jones course. Every green is covered with burned out patches, it looks like there has been a severe drought. Very disappointing.
Good resort course
The older lady working the pro shop counter did t look at us once while checking in. I got the impression Golf Now golfers bugged her. Front nine pace was great. Back nine was slow. Many greens had huge areas of dry rot. Some fairways had it too. Cantt take golf cart to load up clubs or unload. Nice looking holes.
Experience after 30 yrs
The course was in great shape, the greens were a little slow, neede mowing & rolling maybe a stint of 7. That was the only criticism I had. My recollection from 30 yrs ago the sand traps were white Gipson sand & were like flour trying to get out of after a vertical entry with the ball often buried. The traps were more traditional but were well maintained & consistent. Great course but a little tough to get too via Cty roads over hill & dale
Greens are in bad shape
Overall course was nice bet the greens are all half dead.
Maple helicopter seeds.
The only reason it got fair condition was there were maple helicopter seeds all over the greens and the fairways.
Beautiful scenery
The fairways were in great shape for April. The greens however suffered some winter kill and the tea boxes need a little repair. All in all a great day for golf.
Beautiful scenery
The course has beautiful scenery tucked in a valley. The fairways were in great shape for April but the greens suffered some winter kill. All in all a great day for golf with very friendly staff.
First time played at here
Course was in great shape as greens were just sanded. This course is very challenging and I will return to play it again. I came from Iowa to visit my son who lives within 30 of the course. Look forward to playing here again.
Disappointed
Had high expectations based on other reviews and cost. Course Conditions were average (actually below many of the lower cost courses we played during two week trip). Course design requires skilled shot shaping on many holes, both due to the hole’s routing and the intrusion of trees into the playing corridors. Greens were generally in good shape. Tree pruning severely needed on course and along cart paths.
