Greens were very good. Fairways were narrow but the rough did not penalize errant shots. This would be a good course to begin your week.

Outstanding Course

Outstanding course, excellent conditions, good fairway grass and true greens. Layout of holes offers unique challenges, but plays fair with good shots. Scenery is great with coastal wildlife. Good value.

Great layout. Greens were a little bumpy. Looked like they were over seeded with top dressing not long ago Fairways were firm and seemed to be almost like hard pan at times.
