Good course, long round

Played blue tees here which are adequate for 10-12 handicappers. Kept driver in the bag for most of the round - many of the tee shots require little more than 220 yards for a wedge approach. Lots of woods to swallow the ball up, but most are marked with red tees, making penalties minimal if you get lost.

Sole complaint is pace of play - on the front nine, there were routinely three groups on one hole. They could probably space out there tee times a bit more to allow for a quicker round. Otherwise, enjoyed the experience and will be back.

Nice course with a Cape feel

Was very pleasantly surprised that they let me and my brother play in mid-January. Despite a rather cold day, we were able to play 18 holes and the course was in great shape considering it is mid-winter. There are a few very long par 4's (430 yards and over) that essentially play as par 5's, but those are countered with some shorter easier holes for a nice balance. The course is lined with the scrub pines that you find on Cape Cod giving it a great 'beach-forest' type feel. If it was in this kind of condition in January I can wait to try it again when the weather is warmer!

Challenging and clever design

Played on a chilly October afternoon - and was thrilled with the layout and presentation of the course. The layout has a championship feel to it, and when played from the blues, it's a very difficult round (I can't imagine playing it from the tips...should be reserved for the best golfers).

This particular day was quite windy and the greens were rock hard from the colder air making scoring very difficult. Still, an awesome round at a beautiful course. Will absolutely be coming back.

Terrific layout - awesome vistas in the fall

Played here for the first time this fall, and was very pleasantly surprised. Fairways are very tight in spots and par is a terrific score on more than half of the holes on the course. My 13 handicap got all it could handle playing this course from the blues!

I will absolutely be playing here again - it's a terrific layout and a beautiful location, particularly with the fall colors.
