Great greens

Pace of play was poor with no Course ranger in sight. Took an hour to play the first three holes. Eventually took matters into our own hands and basically demanded to be let through a couple of groups who had no etiquette at all.

The greens are phenomenal, firm fast and true.

The layout is so so with some pretty bland holes, some very nice holes and a ridiculous hole in the 17th. The 17th has a split fairway, and if you hit the left one you can't hit the green because of trees in your way. If you can manage to hit it on the right fairway then you have a view of the green, but from the back to you have to hit a huge cut round trees to get on it.

This course had the potential to be very good but needed that extra bit of care and attention.

We regret to hear of your poor experience with pace of play and the course layout during your round. However, we are excited to hear you thought our greens were phenomenal and enjoyed your round! We hope to see you again soon for another round.

STUNNING

Took a chance driving up here based on a couple of reviews. We are so glad we did. This is one of the most scenic course I have ever played.

The layout of the course maximises the stunning terrain with some great elevated tee shots where you can watch your ball fly against the mountain backdrop. Tees and fairways were stunning and the greens were just about to fully recover from some heavy maintenance and still putted great.

We played 36 in one day and would love to have played more. The 14th hole and 15th holes are stunning but my favourite was the 8th.

Highly recommended.

QUIRKY

Played on Masters Sunday morning as a first timer. Lots of really good holes with one or two really strange ones like the 8th. Staff were really first class, greens were pure if a little difficult to read. Tees were ropey but the fairways were lovely. Burger in the clubhouse was fantastic We would go back.

Fantastic layout

Played here based on the reviews we read here so only fair that I should post a review. We played 36 holes a couple of days after a huge storm had passed through the area which left a few bunkers washed out.

The layout of the golf course is first class and credit to the architect for utilising the land to its maximum. Tees and fairways were just coming out of dormancy but the ball still sat up nice on the fairways. Greens were in great shape and rolled pure but were frustrating to read.

Carts are new, range is great and staff were first class. I highly recommend this course to anyone, especially low handicappers playing from the tips.

Playable for anyone

Had the pleasure of playing my collegiate golf here. Great facilities, always high quality conditioning. Staff members were always looking to help at any opportunity.

Finishing stretch of holes live long in the memory.

Impeccable Greens

A golf course which has a false reputation for being hilly. Apart from climbing up at the first and tenth holes you then play round and down. You use all the clubs in the bag in a round of golf here. The greens are really, really good. Firm, smooth and true.

Quirky and enjoyable

Used to be in fantastic condition but not so much nowadays. You will get no better views on a golf course anywhere.
