I really wanted to give this course 5 stars. I typically shoot in the low 80s on a course 6,100 yards long. We played from the whites (5,800 yards) and I worked hard for a 84. Most of the greens are difficult, canted severely and with many subtle breaks. But they were in good condition and true so I won't complain much. The concrete cart paths are crumbling and you can lose a tooth bouncing around on them if you are not careful. The course is pretty. Lots of elevation changes, twists, turns, waste areas in front of the tee box, huge bunkers in front of elevated greens--a real test. You need to play it twice to learn where to [attempt to] hit your drive. My biggest gripe: our round took 5 hours and 15 minutes!! And there was nary a ranger in site the whole round. We waited on almost every tee and sometimes we waited 10 minutes. If not for the great weather and a decent score, it would have been one of the most miserable rounds of the year.

We paid $29, a fair price. The greens were fast with the exception of the first hole and in fairly good condition. Not so, the fairways. There were many bare spots. Evidently, people who play there think the rakes in the bunkers are decorative and not to be disturbed. The clubhouse is an old double-wide trailer but does serve food and drink. Over all, the course was not very impressive.
