Overall, the course was in pretty good shape. We went out earlier in the morning, so there was plenty of dew which made the rough extra tough. Unfortunately, they had just mowed the fairways and it left plenty of small clumps of grass throughout the fairway. You could move the clumps out of the way, but it wasn't visually appealing. The greens were in pretty good shape, but did not have much speed to them. The greens are heavily contoured though, so expect a couple of three putts. Expect to lose some balls in the trees on errant shots, but I found a ball for everyone I lost, so I broke even. Many shots will require a carry to the green, fairway, or over a hazard. Be prepared to hit from contoured fairways and uneven lies most of the day. The bunkers were exceptionally wet and packed considering they had drains. This is a tougher golf course that will not treat beginners kindly. The views and privacy are great, but extra golf balls are a must.

For the most part, the course was in decent shape. The fairways were a little dry and had some brown spots. The bunkers could be maintained a little better with clearly defined edges. The greens were cut a little long and some of the previous hole cuts were loose and uneven. The tee boxes were a little tight and mostly soft, so it was hard to put tees in the ground.

I found the course to be a little more difficult than I expected as many of the fairways are tight and completely tree lined, so if a ball goes in there, don't expect to find it. The fairways are also heavily contoured, so don't expect many flat lies and be ready to have a forced carry over a hazard to the green. About half of the greens are relatively flat and the other half are either curved or sloped.

Overall, the course was in good condition and provided some great scenery. The course played tougher than expected, but was a good challenge. The carts could probably use an upgrade considering our seats were torn. Make sure to bring plenty of extra balls and be ready to spend some extra time looking for errant shots/lost balls.
