I am a bogey golfer and my wife is a beginner. I was a little reluctant to book a tee time when I read some of the reviews regarding the condition of the course, but the low price convinced me to give it a shot. The tee boxes, fairways and rough were in excellent condition. Although the greens stilled showed a little evidence of being aerated a couple of weeks earlier, they ran smooth and true, about 8-9 on the stimp meter I would guess. We finished in less than 4 hours and that included letting 2 singles play through. The hot dogs could have been better if they were grilled, but the price for food a drink was very reasonable. Very pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Stopped here play a round as a mid way point between the PGA Championship and my home in NH. I picked it because of the location but am very happy that I did. It was busy but not crowded. We went off at 2 p.m. and my wife and I played in 3 1/2 hours. There were a lot of elevated tee boxes but it evened out because the next shot was often uphill. Fairly tight. It looked a lot more open than it played. I've been playing with the same ball since 2010 because my game is short and straight. Well, I lost that ball. Over all, nice track. Make sure you have plenty of time if you order a sandwich in the snack bar. Nice folks, but speedy, not so much.

The best summary I can give is that every hole was a postcard. The young person in the pro shop was friendly but was not a golfer so couldn't even tell me if we came by the pro shop (which had zero food or snacks) at the turn. We didn't, which didn't matter because the snack bar isn't open on Sunday.. The course wasn't very well marked for hazards and yardage distances. That was particularly important since it was the first course I've played in quite awhile that wasn't one of the 20,000 on my Garmin. The greens were still healing from aerations but rolled OK. I am a short, straight hitter and have been playing with the same ball for the last 10 years. I lost 5 balls here! Primarily due to not knowing carry distances to the many ravines. Great day in the mountains of NH. We expected to see a moose, but alas, we did not. Make sure your 15th and 16th clubs are a camera and a sandwich.
