I am not real fond of 9 hole courses due to the backup that can occur off the 1st tee but the price and the layout make it worth while to play this course. The greens are faster than one would suspect for a course of this difficulty and the different tee boxes make that second nine easier to play at again.

I have played this course about a dozens times this season. It requires good ball striking as well as a good short game (if you miss the green in the wrong place one will definitely be penalized). As I am not a long hitter it makes the course a little more demanding as quite often I am unable to approach the greens with any club shorter than an 8 iron (I play from the white tees). If one is a long hitter (air carry the driver 260 or longer) it should really come down to how good one putts to play well here as a driver will not be necessary here and if used will only be a short pitch on most holes. The greens probably are the most difficult aspect here as they are generally fast and some have quite a bit of slope to them (especially 6, 10, 11 and 18), in fact I think 18 borders on being unfair. All in all the course has a lot of character as all the holes are different and have various challenges to them.

I started playing golf on this course several years ago. Location and price were reasonable and most golfers here are beginners to intermediate players. The course conditions over the years have varied from poor to adequate. Most seasoned golfers would find this course too short and conditions to be sub par to what they are accustomed to. I venture back here once or twice a year to play it for the memories. The greens on this occasion were the best I can remember though a little slow for my preference.
