Must Play
I played the course for my first time with a member there. I was the first tee time out and the weather was perfect. The course is very challenging off the tee. if its gone, its gone. The greens are a work of art. Not forgiving one bit on the approach shots. Would highly recommend.

The course is beautiful and always immaculately maintained. The rough is difficult and the greens run fast and true. The wildly fe is a nice bonus.

speedy greens and awesome!
The course is in great shape, it is not an easy course and the greens are very fast 11-12 range. Fun to play, paired up with a member, Doug who was great as was his buddy.

We got paired up with two others to fill the tee time. One guy was great, talkative and engaging. The other guy not so much. Brought the vibe down for sure. We aren’t the best golfers but out there to have fun. Second 9 holes got backed up pretty quickly (and it was down to just us two, the other two guys bailed) and we had to wait a good ten minutes at every hole just to tee off.
That being said, the course itself is beautiful.
