Plays longer than it looks.

This is a great little course winding through a pleasant neighborhood. The players are always pleasant and once in a while if you're on the tee waiting one of the residents will strike up a conversation from their back porch. All i all a pleasant day golfing , with some surprisingly tricky shots to be made.

Not sure I'll play here again

I've played here several times and it's been less pleasant lately. The price has gone up significantly and I've had several instances where members throw etiquette out the window. I spent Sunday afternoon dodging another John Daly wannabe on 4 of the first 9 holes. A drive by the foursome behind me just missed me and hit my cart on the fly. This is not the first time it's happened here. There is a huge need for a course ranger and management to get a few members under control before somebody gets seriously hurt.

EXCELLENT CONDITION ON A DIFFICULT DAY

Aside from the weather, 96'ish in the shade, it was a good day. For the blistering conditions, the course was in tip top condition. The fairways were lush and the greens were flawless.

Unfortunate day of golf

I really can't say much about the course, the layout, difficulty, etc.... I only got to play two holes before I decided it was fruitless to play behind two teenage boys walking the course. I decided to pack up and go to another local course where I can always get a tee time and the pace of play doesn't require a quick shave before you start the back nine. I was at the tee box at my designated tee time, playing as a single, but two youngsters got in front of me. It took 55 minutes to play the first two holes, a short par 4 and a par 3. I engaged the youngsters in conversation at the tee boxes and it never occurred to them it might be appropriate to allow me to play through. Nor did the staff intervene to speed things along though the tee box is a few steps outside the clubhouse in full view. In order not to disrupt anyone's day I decided it was prudent to just forfeit the green fee and quietly be on my way. I would hope this was an unusual circumstance, but I did see as I was heading back in groups bunched up at several tee boxes. A course ranger would be a tremendous help.

Very nice course

This course is a bit pricey compared to other local courses, but the price difference is offset by the quality of the course. Many challenges on this course make shot making a necessity

Nice Course

This is a straight forward course, nothing tricky. It's a good course for dialing in club selection. The fairways are in good shape and the greens are extremely slow, at least they were the day I played. It took a more firm stroke than you'd expect to reach the cup.

Nice course, pleasant day........

I've played the course twice now, and both times it's been a good experience. The greens are quick, but consistent. It is a deceptively difficult course requiring some long approach shots from difficult angles. both times I played the course i reached the turn between 1230 and 1 pm and found the clubhouse grill closed so I can't say anything about the food. Deer wandered around the course making for some great scenery.

Don't over think it...

This is a relatively straight, flat course for this region. A few of the par 5's are reachable in 2, so just step up and swing.

Nice average course

I played on an overcast/rainy/stormy day, so pace of play is skewed. We had to stop after 6 holes and wait out a short rain. Even wet, the course is still in good condition, though the greens really slowed down after a little rain. Relatively 'flat", straight course for this region so it is readily playable for all skill levels.

Hidden Gem

The course was in great shape for this time of year. It always plays well and there is the right mix of difficult holes.

Not a stroll through the park

This is a very challenging course. Somewhat narrow fairways and speedier than average greens make this course a bit too difficult for less experienced players. The rough is quite lush,thick, and long. We drove into the rough and it took ten minutes to find the ball, and then another five minutes to find the cart! Stay out of the rough. The cost is upper end, in fact somewhat inflated beyond comparable courses in the area.

Patience Necessary

This is a challenging course, with a good mix of tough shots and some straight away "go for it' shots. There are plenty of hazards, but the GPS carts give you plenty of information about where the hazards lie and information on how to play the hole. Distances to hazards, and carry distance, are very helpful. There did not seem to be a lot of places on the course where bad lies, such as feet way above or below the ball came into play unless you really hit a clunker. The long'ish par 3's are much more fun than the 100 yard pitching wedge par 3's at a lot of courses.

Straight down the middle golf

Nice course that doesn't require a lot of shot-making". I don't recall any blind shots whee i couldn't see exactly where i needed to place the ball for my next shot. Pleasant couse for novices as well as experienced players. Staff is great and the clubhouse is exxcellent. The food is good and prices are very good.

Play Straight

Narrow fairways and fluffy rough put a premium on playing straight. If you tend to spray the ball around,it could be a long day. Subtle, and not so subtle, increases and decreases in elevation make club selection for approach shots very important. Several holes don't leave much room for error, but if you play steady, sound golf the challenge is great. Scenery makes for a nice day no matter how the golf is going.
