Great course for the price.

Your drive and approach are most important. Greens roll better then you'd think. A chip in par on the 1st hole and a true birdie on the 3rd well definitely bring me back at another time in the future.

Exceeded expectations!

Have played numerous times over last 4 years. Have seen the course evolve from an understaffed “D” status to a course that has improved dramatically. Biggest negatives are tee boxes that tend to be difficult to insert your tee due to lack of watering (rock hard) and rough cart paths particularly on the back nine. The sand traps need attention also. Positives include an extremely challenging round from any of the tee boxes, a shot makers course - demands club selection awareness to manage your game. Keeping ball in play is key to enjoying a good round so be prepared to go through all your clubs to avoid well placed water hazards, elevation changes, and managed tee shots. Course can be as difficult or easy as you choose. Overall a great value! Will be back frequently in the future.

Fun and challenging 18

The course is in good shape, not pristine but good. There are a couple of really long par-fives and the course is challenging. I would recommend playing here. Great value for the money.

Beautiful course with great layout

Couldn’t be more pleased with this course. Great use of water on almost every hole and it really makes you think about your tee shots. Will be back soon.

Outstanding value

Hidden gem - plays short but tight, making for lots of interesting club choices off tees. Fairways were in good shape and greens were pristine. Sounds like they've put a lot of effort into getting the course into good playing shape, and it shows. Outstanding value for the money.
