Course was beautiful and well kept. It is definitely a fun course with a variety of challenges. Due partially to an outing without ranger assistance, there was a very slow pace. It was 51/2 hours for a twosome, and we finally packed it in on the 15th hole, excrutiating... and no-one cared. Even the starter was inefficient and clueless.

Course is tight requiring directional control. Greens are difficult to read but fair. As most courses have been this year, length of rough is a bit excessive slowing play.

We were booked in the middle of two ongoing events, a high school qualification round and an outing. We were told to tee off on the back 9 with 5 foursomes in front of us. When we got there we were told by one of the students, that he was told to tell us to go to the 13th hole. The last foursome of the outing was still on that green when we arrived there.
It took 35 minutes before we tee'd off. It then took another 2 hours to play four holes, due to over indulgence within the outing, and ineffective rangers there apparently for appearance only! Management was abrupt, definitely had an attitude, and never offered compensation, or even an apology. We threw in the towel after 4 holes.

The course is well structured. It challenges all clubs in the bag, and requires good course strategy. The course is in excellent condition with well kept greens. Sand traps could be better as they were somewhat hard and lacking sand.

creative involvement with natural terrain and unique shot challenges. golfer cannot simply blast away. technical skill and finesse are required. ya gotta play golf.

Each hole is unique with individual challenges. scenery is delightful making the round enjoyable. pro shop staff could be friendlier, act as we are doing them a favor by playing there.

At first appearance the course looks easy. The greens are well protected with subtle undulations. Approach shots must be accurate. Although fairways are tolerant, wandering too far can be disasterous.
