Teed off at 2pm on a Tuesday. Payed $25 to walk and played in just under 4 hours. Course was in great shape. The greens were a bit dotted up (pretty normal for the end of summer), but still rolled true and pretty fast. The pro shop said they were going to punch in a week or two, so if you are planning on playing in mid Sep, I’d give them a call first.

Pretty wide open off the tee with 3 or 4 forced carry tee shots. Greens were large and tiered with some false edges, probably the most challenging aspect of the course. The ball sat up nicely in the fairway and the rough was light and forgiving. Fun course, pretty gettable if you don’t spray it too badly off the tee.

Played midday on a Tuesday, walked the course in 4 hours, and payed $25 ($50ish to ride). The fairways, rough, and bunkers were in good shape. A few of the tee boxes were a bit lumpy, but I’ve seen worse for sure. The greens were dotted up pretty good, understandable for the time of year, but stilled rolled true and pretty fast. The lady in the shop said they were going to punch in a week or two, so if you are planning to play in mid Sep 2019, I’d call ahead to check.

Overall the course is highly gettable, depending on the tees. Not a lot of strategy needed. I hit less than driver a handful of times off the tee, but if I played again I would just hit driver and pick more aggressive lines on most of those. There were 3 or 4 forced carry tee shots, which might be a problem for less experienced golfers, but other than that the course was wide open and can be enjoyed by a wide range of skill levels.

Specifically, the course can be easily overpowered by long hitters. Super wide open. . The ball sat up nicely in the rough and it was really a non issue. The only defenses being wind, speed of greens, and pin placement. A few of the greens are huge with different levels. 3 putts could abound depending on where you hit the ball. FWIW, I found that the greens had 20-30% less break than my eye was reading. I walked the course and there were a few stretches between holes, but otherwise it was a nice walk. Nice views of the mountains and lake beyond the housing developments.

Would definitely play it again.
