Average conditions

Still winter conditions, greens are bumpy and thick. Fairways and rough were normal or as expected for this time of year.

Good Layout

This Course has a good layout and some subtle breaks on the greens. Did not care for some of the blind tee shots, so if you are unfamiliar with the course you may get into trouble. Greens have subtle breaks but are manageable but not consistent in speed throughout. Local knowledge helps but a decent Golfer can walk away with a low score here. I was 1 over on the front and then the wait started on the back with quite a few lost balls for the group in front of me. Did not end well as frustration kicked in and I started to make some errant tee shots and ended the day at 13 over. overall not a bad track if the price is right, but you will wait at some point and time. Most of the players I ran into are very friendly except for one guy who thought he owned the course and blamed me for slow play even though I was a single behind all foursomes. Couldn't play through as i would not get anywhere yet he thought different. Local course for Local players, not sure if I would go back but I am glad to have played it.

Great Experience

A must play course with great conditions and layout. You will not be dissapointed, just make sure you do not use driver on every hole that is not a par 3. Course management will prevail here but the greens are tricky and do not always go with the grain so watch everyone else's putt to get a better read. I can't say enough good things about this course and again it is a must play. If there is anything bad about it would be some of the Bunkers have small rocks in them so it is time to redo the Liners in them to have a more enjoyable round of Golf. I am an 90 minutes away but would gladly return to play the course. Also the Staff is extremely friendly and accomodating, again you will not be dissapointed. Hit em straight..

A hidden Gem of a course, you will not be disappointed with this course. Great layout with quite a few challenging holes but you can still score if you have good course management. This course is walkable but there are considerable distances from Green to next Tee as the course is spread out among 3 pods. The range has grass or mats to use and takes cash but does not give change, takes $5 for small and $10 for large bucket. The bar area is small but the service is exceptional with great food and always has 1/2 price specials. Again you will not be dissapointed playing here. i will definitely return even though it is an hour and a half from home. Hit em straight..

Great challenging course when there is substantial wind. Conditions are above average and consistent. The new clubhouse was not open as yet, but i am sure once open it will get 5 stars also. A must play course where you should keep it in the fairway.
