This is my first time playing this course since it went public a couple years ago, and I was very disappointed. The course itself was shaggy: many of the tees were rough, standing water and marshy, muddy fairways, some greens were diseased and bare. There was trash all around the course. No starter, and only one marshal sitting under a tree on 8 , just playing games on his phone. Other golfers driving carts all around the greens and tees, even digging ruts just 5-7 feet off the green. Very disappointed this once top-rated course has fallen so badly.

Round of golf took 5 ½ hours! Most holes had two groups waiting on tee when we got there.

It was a nice layout, somewhat challenging. A little condition problems, as there where aeration on some holes.

Just a great time for my wife and I. Course in great condition, greens were quick but not hard to putt or gauge speed. Not too difficult, fairly wide fairways, good size greens (a couple small ones), not too many forced carries for lesser skilled golfers; nice for first round of the year after a winter layoff. I played the Patriot course from black (back) tees, 6000 yds. A little short, a number of 310-330yd par 4's, then they bite you with a 464yd par 4 18th. Very nice patio at Red's for post-round dinner. (see pic). Will definitely stay here on our next trip.
