Good golf near downtown

Course is in good shape, greens are excellent. Plenty of target bunkers, some water not in play much at all.
Enjoyed the course and staff is excellent.

Be aware of run-off fairway slopes

Staff was great from check-in to the clubhouse. Greens were in really good shape, putts held the line, and no strange hazards. Really enjoyed the course.

Seemed to be a good layout

Couple of blind shots, a few tee boxes close to incoming greens, all in all a good course, greens in very good shape, and enjoyed the round.

watch for hidden hazards

Course had several bare spots, there are a few places by hitting too much club or going astray got me into trouble, layout is ok. Even though the course was not crowded players ahead let me play through. The staff is great and pleasant.

GPS would be helpful

The staff was really helpful and great, course is fairly open, and a couple of shots had water that couldn't readily be seen (one off tee, one approach).
Otherwise a good enjoyable golf course.

Pretty straight forward

There isn't much trouble other than sand and water. Course was in good shape, nearing overseed time, but fair and playable.

great views

Views were far better than I expected. Had been wanting to play this course for a year, and it was well worth it. Not overly difficult, but overall really good shape. Greens putted very true. Stay in the fairways, rough off the course very dense. Lot of very interesting elevation changes. Course facilities well taken care of.

Ignorance or Rudeness

This is the second slowest round I have ever played, and no one did anything even after mentioning it to staff at the turn. There was only a two-some and a three-some on the course ahead of us. They didn't ask us to play thru, so I skipped 14th hole, asked if I could go around - they were gracious enough to let me pass by.
Hope this is not typical of this course.

This is a great place to play

Plenty of challenge, greens were excellent, and views are terrific. As a first-timer, ran into a couple of problems with mised fairways. Really enjoyed this course.

Don't need the driver very often

Fairways were dry, got a lot of run, had to be careful with long approach shots running off the green.
Enjoyed the course.

Driver isn't a necessary club

Course in very good shape, greens putted very good, and hit clubs off the tee to stay in the fairway otherwise fighting a losing battle for your second shot.

Take extra golf balls

Plenty of elevation changes, great views. Beware not to hit long into greens, and keep it in the fairways - accuracy is a must. Several blind shots for first-timers. greens were somewhat rough, and grass was long making putting a challenge.
Enjoyed the course and would play it again.
