Not worth the money. Go somewhere else.

We ended up getting a tee-off deal which ended up being a big mistake. Don't be fooled by the course making it look like they are giving you a deal with the original cost being over $160. The course also looks nothing like the pictures so do not be fooled.

The front nine is wide open with the back being tighter and more like target golf. We got lucky and were joined by a member as many of the shots on the back are blind and he was able to give us targets to aim for.

Pros:
-Only reason I gave the course 2 stars instead of 1 was because of the great staff.
- Pace of play was under 4 hours but was likely due to the fact that the day was cooler and the golf course was less busy.
- I liked the GPS on the carts as it gave a green view, overhead view of the hole and target yardages

Con:
-No starter or marshal. Therefore groups start whenever they want
-Range balls are not provided. When you are paying over $100 to play the course, you should not be forced to spend more on balls to warm up
- Greens were ball mark ridden
- Rough was completely dead with almost weeds growing through. Any ball hit out of it was a complete guess as to how it would come out with many being mud balls

This course was a complete disappointment made worse by the fact that it was our last course after a great week long golf vacation.

Great course. Will be back.

We ended up getting a tee-off deal and ended up being surprised by how great the course was. It was in good shape with greens that ran true. Only downside to the greens were they had lots of ball marks that were fixed incorrectly and had dirt showing.

Pros:
- Overseeding on the entire course meant the rough was in great condition

Con:
-Range balls are not provided. When you are paying over $100 to play the course, you should not be forced to spend more on balls to warm up
-No GPS on the carts
-Can be some airplane traffic

We ended up playing 5 rounds during our trip and this was my favorite course. The conditions and playability of the course were more than enough to overcome the airplane traffic. I will be back in the future.

Walked

We ended up getting a tee-off deal which brought the cost down to a level that was considered good value. The course was in good shape with greens that can be tricky to read at times.

Pros:
- Great practice area with target greens at the range, 3 or 4 practice greens with a bunker
-Very quiet as it is not near any major roads
-Did not eat there but the restaurant looked very nice

Con:
-Range balls are not provided. When you are paying over $100 to play the course, you should not be forced to spend more on balls to warm up
-No GPS on the carts
-Odd layout at times

I liked the course and the course conditions and if I was able to get another deal I would return.

Good Course

We ended up getting a tee-off deal which brought the cost down to a level that was considered good value. The course was in great shape and the greens were quick and had lots of undulation which made them tricky at times.

Pros:
-Range balls are provided - Make sure you grab them from the bag attendants as there are no signs to tell you where to get them
-Good pace of play - Took only 4 hours with a four some that started at 10:30

Con:
- Range hits off mats which I did not like for a course that costs what it did
- Biggest downside to this course is the constant airplane traffic. It felt like there was never a break from either landing or taking off

I liked the course and the course conditions but I do not think i would play again just because of the constant airplane traffic as it took away from the round.
