Course in Very Poor Condition

We played at the end of the season so some difficulty was expected but this was ridiculous. The Fairways were very, very wet so cart path only was acceptable but they were barely able to be walked on. There were piles of leaves on the rough so many balls were unfindable there. The greens had been aerated so there were hundrets of punch marks on each green which had not been cut. I have played this course when it was in much better condition but to be charged this price for this day was inappropriate.

Outstanding

One of my favourites...pristine. But...no Marshall. Our 4some waited on every hole. 4 guys ahead in trouble every hole....2 open holes ahead. Wouldn't let us through. Held up entire course. Disappointing. Will still play here, love it.

Tough and Sweet

This course is definitely challenging for any golfer. Be prepared to go through a few sleeves of balls. It's a wee bit pricey but definitely worth playing at least once. Staff are second to none and food was amazing!

Lightning greens

Super tight course. Greens were some of the fastest I’ve played which was a little more than I would like but maybe it was just rolled. Condition of greens were mediocre at best but they rolled true nonetheless. If you can’t hit the ball straight you’re taking lots of penalties. Really thick rough makes it punishing to miss the fairway. Great value for a tough track.

Nice course but difficult

Nice course but not for beginner golfers; lots of blind shots, narrow fairways, tall weeds. Clubhouse is AWESOME!

Challenging Course

The course was in excellent shape and the staff were friendly. Distance between holes are such that you need a cart. It is a very challenging course if you are not straight and there were too many tees shots where you could not see the fairway landing area because of the tall grass/shrubs.I would definitely recommend this course for good players but would advise high handicappers to play somewhere else and save your balls. I prefer to walk so that was a negative.

Great Course

Very challenging course. Great condition. A little pricey. No driving range however.
There were seven of us and we had a great time playing it.
