First Time Playing

beautiful Donald Ross course - challenging greens in great shape

wonderful course - tight with challenging rough, undulating greens - rewards good play and penalizes errors

they don't want new members

Listed as membership preview round on golfnow.com but when I asked proshop for locker room to dress for the round I was told "members only" and denied access.

Club has 27 holes.... we weren't permitted to play D.Ross' original 18 - even though it appeared wide open. Again, if you want me to consider joining the club, put your best foot forward for us!

Snack bar employees did not differentiate between members and non-members. Great food and great cash prices.

Greens on Ross 9 we played were very good condition - new 9 greens were a notch below that. Same opinion regarding the bunkers when comparing - though no bunkers were in very good shape.

Fairways and Greens in Great Shape!!

Booked a single, but when I arrived the clubhouse told me the 3-some added someone and I would have to play on my own. Went to the first tee and some members invited me to play along with their group. That was very nice of the members despite the attitude of the clubhouse. Course was in great shape, rough was high and difficult, but fairways and greens were in great shape. This is what you would expect from a private club!!!

Must play, worth the drive

Played early December 2012 in decent weather (misty but warm).

Great Donald Ross layout, wonderful fast greens (especially this late in season). Very fair layout and fun mixture of "easy" & "hard" holes.

Would join club in a heartbeat if it weren't a 40 minute one-way drive for me !

Unbelievable condition for this time of year.

It was a little blustery but the golf course was in near perfect condition. Greens had been aerated but were rolled and extremely quick. No one on the course and our twosome had a leisurely 3 hour 15 minute round.
