Boring course
Course conditions were good. No beverage card service today. Other than two holes The course is quite boring. A lot of straight up and down fairways the first four holes look almost exactly the same. For the amount of money there are way better courses
Bonkers full of heavy sand

Excellent greens and nice layout.
Besides the well manicured greens and nice layout this gem has a few very tricky water holes. Fairways were without a blemish and just perfect. The bald eagle sighting and show on #9 made this hole more majestic than it's already challenging dogleg finish going to the turn. Not for the faint of heart. Entire staff were also helpful and friendly. We look forward to seeing ya'll again soon.

If you like fast greens…
Greens stimped out at about 11 with many undulations, if you enjoy a putting challenge this is it. Very enjoyable day, course in great condition and overall interesting layout. Friendly staff as well. Cost a bit high but still a reasonable value proposition.
