I played this course on a Friday morning. It had rained the day before, but the weather was perfect when we played. The clubhouse is nice but doesn't seem to be fully operating. The man behind the counter was rather curt, but everyone else was pleasant. They told us the range was closed, however, it appeared open for members. The course displays the area's natural beauty. The layout is challenging, especially the greens. The greens are massive and oddly shaped. On several holes, I did not have an open landing area with a driver or 3-wood (250-280yds). Which was frustrating, but I can live with it. There are a lot of bunkers making for some difficult shots that I'm not used to, but it kept things interesting. The bunkers are in great shape. However, the fairways are not. There's just not a lot of grass in the fairways. Rough is easy to play from.

Overall, I didn't like the design of the greens, and the fairways need work. It's obvious the course used to be nicer than it is now.

I played on Saturday with a 9:00 tee time and I knew the course was going to be crowded, but it was my only option. I was paired with three other gentleman of various skill and all were very kind. We waited probably 15 minutes on the first tee and seemed to wait that long on most holes. I was hitting the ball fairly well, but really struggled to make pars because the greens were in such poor shape. It was nearly impossible to keep the ball on the green unless you were hitting a full shot, and I'm a player that produces a lot of backspin. The tee boxes and fairways are fine, no complaints, but the short game is a waste of time because you aren't rewarded for hitting good shots. Also, if you've never played, you'll need a rangefinder because the yardages are poorly marked, I never knew what to hit. Overall, the greens are way too firm and the course is getting overplayed. Even though I paid for 18, I left after 9 because it took almost 3 hours to play the front.
