Love this course

Greens are rolling very nicely, and fairway are in great shape , if only I could keep my golf ball there. The New golf carts are a great addition and the staff is very friendly.

Slow Start

Only draw back today was a frost delay, we were held back about a half hour, but once we got started the pace of play was really good and along with the fairways and the greens being in really good shape, it made the round worth the wait.

Nice design

There is nothing typical about this course. With the up and over and round hazards, this course challenges you to set up your second shot. This, along with the well taken care of greens gives it a great feel. I used to not appreciate these in well designed courses , but as I hone in my skills the challenge is accepted . Only one small minus and it’s due to the fall season, the leaves in couple of areas make it hard to find your ball . Overall very satisfied

Tournament course

The course is in great shape ! No cart path only yeah .The greens are fast and well maintained with blinding yet finely ground sand in the bunkers. The gps on the cart is a great help for first timers with all the fairway hazards you need to lay up on . I will definetly come with my buddies.

Not for the faint of heart

For mid to high handicapper's I don't recommend you play this course without a laser finder or Gps, and a friend who's played here at least five times.
The fairways are in great shape, but that's because it's cart path all 18 holes always! There are a ton of blind shots, which means you will need to lay up, the only problem with this is the fairways run from 30 yards wide and then cut down to 10 yards wide into a ravine. You may not need your driver , I used mine once and over-ran the fairway into the ravine. I loved the greens which are in great condition and fast. One thing, bring extra golf balls and please don't bother looking for shots hit out of the fairways it will help speed up the pace of play. The one major gripe was paying $25 to have my wife ride along.
Over all it was a good learning experience.

Beautiful views of the bay shoreline

Being next to the bay shoreline means afternoon wind, which makes the coarse more challenging . The coarse is very nicely kept up and in great shape.

Great views in a tranquil canyon setting.

Most of the coarse plays short pars ,but can be challenging if you don't stay in the short stuff , which i haven't mastered yet .
