Love this course

I am trying to think of something negative and I am having a hard time. I could have complained about the poor condition of the sand traps, but they have started work on improving them.
The course is in great shape. The rough is not too long but you could pay the price for missing the fairway. The greens are also in great shape. Some greens are very difficult, big breaks and sloped. Several elevated greens make it interesting.
A round is always played 4 hours. And, the staff is great, friendly, and very accomodating. They even drive the cart out to your car and load your clubs, so have a tip handy.
I really love this course.

Only drawback is it is a 9 hole course but still enjoyed playing here.

Course is well maintained and flat. Water comes into play on a few holes. It is not a long course but tree placement provides some challenges. Greens are on the small side but are in good shape.
Staff was friendly and accommodating. Pace of play is fine and no problem going off the first tee after finishing the 9th.
Only problem seems to be with the gas carts. The cart for the twosome in front of us stopped working and had to be pushed back to clubhouse. Then, the single behind us also broke down. But, our cart had no issues so this may have been just bad luck for them.

Some of the toughest putting holes I have ever played on

After the flat first 3 holes, the course becomes very challenging as you climb up the mountain. Many of the greens have a slope that places a premium on the landing area. The greens protect the shortness of the course. A few holes have very elevated greens, especially love #10.
Challenging course, great value, very well maintained, friendly staff - I was almost ready to say "what's not to love" but my one negative is there the lack of a driving range or practice putting green. But, other than that - I really enjoy this course.
