Excellent round

I played on the nicest day in February on Presidents Day. Considering the time of year, the course was in excellent condition. My only knock is that 1 guy was the entire staff and the grill wasn’t open and there were no Cart concessions. He was working really hard, I just wish he had help.

Father's Day Experience

It's hard to judge any course on a holiday, and Father's Day is a pretty busy one for any course. In this case, they ran out of carts, which compressed the early afternoon tee times and caused a log jam of golfers. The experience was overly crowded and less fun than it could have been. Rolling hills were interesting, but given our inexperience with course and crowd level, was constantly worried about blind shots over the hill. Course layout contributed to that, with several holes crossing one another on the front nine. Greens were exceptionally fast... Someone likened it to putting on the cart path. Views of the valley were beautiful and hills were challenging. Would love to try this again on a day where crowds were less or cart availability was better.

Wild Course

Very hill course with wild greens. Course conditions can be spotty. Course was very challenging and a ton of fun to play.
