Excellent design, perfect condition, excellent pace and I shot my best game of the year. Worth the price- as is the Creemore Pilsner to celebrate on the patio.

The course was in reasonable condition on a nice but windy afternoon. I am a 19 handicap playing the white tees. a few things really detracted from the joy of playing. There were no yardage markers other than the 150. There were lots of sprinkler heads that any course presenting itself as being reputable would us. Made club choices difficult. The greens are fast and in some cases were tricked out. A pin 4 ft feet from the edge on a hill so that anything more than a careful lag putt whips past the flag and into the water hazard, Surrounding few feet of the green which may have stopped a slow rolling ball shaved short and sloping into hazard This happened twice in our group. Nonsense really. Another sidehill cup would not pass the 5 foot drop test where you drop a ball vertically beside a hole and it rolls more than 5 feet away. In one case the ball would likely have continued into the lake if we didn't stop it. Some of the greens felt like bizzaro US Open attempts. Not fun. Another elevated green behind a large bunker on a par four was 10 feet deep with the pin in the middle. A decent drive leaves 130-150 yard shot that if it flies the bunker, has a few feet to stop before heading down the other side of the green. You returning chip is most likely to catch the dramatic drop that starts a foot to the right of the pin. A good drive, a nice approach and double bogie is yours. Some of these are overcooked design features. Some are poor judgement on the greenskeeper's part. All adds up to there are more enjoyable courses to play if you are a 2 digit handicap looking for a fair golf outing.
