Don't be fooled by the length.

The course plays much longer than the card says. The elevation changes will test every part of your game.The views were spectacular. This was great layout and I look forward to playing here again.

Nice Donald Ross Course

Beautiful Donald Ross designed course . Beautiful views , variety in hole layout and challenging shot decisions. Tricky greens - watch for the false fronts that will have you following your ball as it rolls away from the green.
The only complaint is that the aerated greens hadn’t completely healed ( only Mother Nature’s fault).

Part of the pleasure is reading the Donald Ross quotes as you move around the course - take the time to enjoy the history and thoughts of a classic golf course architect.

Nice, picturesque course to play

The greens were very nice and fast. #8 5 par was not fair with a false front that I was 15 feet on the green with the pin at the front when I saw my ball roll off the green and down the fairway 40 yards. Hole #6 a short 4 par has a false front that if you drop the ball 10-12 feet from the front of the green your ball will roll down the fairway halfway to the pond in front of the senior tee box. Very unfair. The sand traps were under repair, and you just had to remove your ball and get a free drop which is nice if playing for money and you have a hard time hitting out of a sand trap. The course itself is in excellent shape and very scenic. A favorite course of mine. I had my best round on the back nine with one over par, but on the front nine I missed several short putts and had a 42.
