Good course

Staff took the time to warn me that I would be playing as a single and it might be slow. Four groups let me play through and I finished in a little more than three hours.

Bad experience

Unfortunately I got paired up with three yokels that had no clue about pace of play. They constantly socialized before hitting each shot. One of them shanked a ball so bad that it hit a clay pot on someone's property putting a hole in the pot. Later, he hit a ball that struck an apartment building. After a 2 hour and 45 minute front nine (no one in front of us for the last four holes), they stopped inside to order and sit down to eat in the bar. I grabbed my clubs and left!!! Club needs some on-course rangers!!!

Worth the hour trip

I have always seen this course on Golfnow and seen its top 100 rankings of public courses. I finally made the trek up from my yearly visit to Brandon. The course did not disappoint and it is now on my regular circuit of courses.

Nice layout

Course has six par three's and four par five's so it is a par 70 course. Overall, it is a fun track to play with a wide variety of holes. My friend and I were returning home from the RTJ golf trail and this was a nice place to play and would return again someday in the future if we are nearby.

Great track

After the first six holes, this course takes a drastic change for the better. It has a couple of cool par 3's with elevated tee shots plus a variety of shorter and longer par 4 and par 5's. The only drawback is that even with a gps device, you still need local advice on holes like #10 and #18. It would be helpful if the course had a hole-by-hole guide or advice on the carts.
