Excellent layout and doglegs.

Was surprised how good of shape the course was. Greens had much improved over the past few months and the fairways were full and plush. You may have a tough shot if you don't position your ball off the tee correctly. Over all, course was in excellent shape. Will be back again soon.

Beautiful vistas and elevation changes.

Excellent course. The only reason I put 4 stars on the course conditions is that the greens are still transitioning from the aerification and sanding processes. They were good, but a little slow putting. Give them another 2 weeks and they should be back to their normal standards and quick. Other than that, the rest of the course is in perfect condition. It is so quiet and peaceful playing there, no noisy distractions like you get from courses built amongst houses lining the fairways. Its just golf and nature, pure and simple.

This course currently needs some TLC

It's a fun challenging course, but currently it is going through some challenges. The greens have went through a fungus and are in the process of being patched and repaired. Not the best putting around. Fairways are coming in good after the winter and the tee boxes have improved greatly over previous years. I have played this course for over 20 years, and, well, I have seen the greens in much better shape. They are still putt-able and they are putting the pins in the best part of the greens. Be patient, and it should come back to its standards.

Incredible

Can't wait to play it again. Every aspect was manicured to perfection. Greens were difficult to read and lightning fast, but that is expected from a Fazio designed course. Quiet, serene, no houses with "yard equipment" noises to distract you, because at this course, you need to think your shots through and execute. It's a perfect blend with the natural landscape. I will definately be back to play it again.
