Course was in good shape & appeared to be well-maintained particularly for this time of year. Fairways & rough had been cut, greens were mostly smooth and bunkers were in good condition with plenty of sand.
This is a pretty forgiving course with wide fairways & large greens. Some of the greens have a severe slope which can make them difficult in the summer when you're above the hole but otherwise it's pretty fair with very few blind or deceptive shots.
The Grill is closed during the winter months.

The course is fun to play with a great variety of holes and a lot of scenic hills & elevation changes. It's also set up to play very difficult or somewhat easier depending on which tees you play from. The gorse is mostly cut down this time of year but in the summer it can be chest high and punishing.
However, everything is expensive here from the green fees to the $7 hot dogs. The problem is that at these prices the staff in the pro shop should be friendly and accomodating instead of rude and dismissive. One of them actually verbally insulted one of my playing partners without any provocation. Inexcusable in my opinion.

Course conditions surprisingly good considering all the rain from the day before; greens were fast & bunkers were dry & raked.
Only complaint was round took around 5 hours to complete.

Can't complain for $25 to play a great course but late-March was just too early after a long, cold winter. The greens had been aerated in early March according to an employee but were still brown, sandy and bumpy.
The grass hadn't started growing so the tee boxes and fairways were still pretty bare and of course almost none of their famous flowers and bushes were in bloom yet.
This is a 5-star course in-season but only rates 3 stars at this time of year.
