This was an OK course. Not a bad drive from where I live. I only played here because it was a semi-equidistant alternative for my partner and I.Given the age of the course, it was well maintained. I paid $25 with a cart on a Sunday - which is a deal compared to other courses - and that's just about all it's worth.

This course is only challenging if you tee off with driver on every hole. The course was designed in the early 20th century and the style play was different back then, so you have to swallow your pride and tee off using an iron on the shorter narrower par 4s. You will have a much more enjoyable experience if you use every club in your bag. Take some time to study the course before your round.

This course will advertise it is a "country club", which is a stretch considering the club house looks like a nicely decorated fallout shelter from the 1950's and there is no driving range. In this case, use of the labels "club" and "member" are just loosely used adjectives to polish a seasonal membership created by the management of an aging course to generate some sort of sustainable income - which is brilliant considering the closure of many aging courses across the country, but not unique.

The "country club" has also generated an over-inflated ego in their "members"; meaning, members believe they belong to a Greenbrier, or Pebble Beach caliber country club. "Outsiders" or "non-members' playing at their "club" is looked down upon. You would believe "members" would would be happy the golf community is taking interest in their club and would be happy for the extra money - which could only benefit them - but this not the case.

To summarize, if your desperate to get out on the cheap, then this course is for you.

Love this course. Played 9 holes on an odd Wednesday afternoon. Arrived at 3:50PM and was walking down the 1st fairway to sum up my approach shot at 4:00PM. I should preface this and say I am attributing the weather conditions of that day to the pace of play - wet, hardly anyone there, otherwise you cannot get near this place on a weekend.

This is a mature course, but well kept and manicured. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, collar, and greens all in good condition despite the conditions and the amount of play the course receives. The trees give you something to aim your tee shot, and to curse on your approach shot.

This course is somewhat challenging, with fairway and green side bunkers all in play. You will find this course difficult if you have a hard time shaping a shot from right to left, or have trouble leaving the beach. However, fairways are moderately wide, so a lay up or a tee show with a hybrid or iron will give you some good options.

All-in-all. I like this course and will be back soon.
