I've lived in the area most of my life but somehow hadn't ever played here. I was very impressed and will definitely be back.

There are a lot of fun, challenging holes to be had here. The course is always in very good shape and the staff is friendly. The problem is slow play the last few times I've been there. Even with a handful of rangers buzzing around the course moving people along, it's still a 5 hour round on the weekends. As long as you get your mind set to be out there that long, I can recommend it.

The fairways and greens were in great shape for this late in the year. The only complaint would be that about half the bunkers were packed hard. Luckily, I avoided them, but the others in my group had a hard time.

Other than being stuck behind a slow group for several holes, the pace of play was quite brisk. We finished in a little more than 3.5 hours. The staff was friendly and I think their draft beers are the coldest I've ever had. I'll definitely play here again.

The greens had recently been aerated and were still a little sandy. I'm not terribly sensitive to that. My problem was that the greens were badly in need of a cut. Combine the two issues and it made putting a a roll of the dice. Fairways were in excellent shape. The rough was a bit long and we spent extra time to find balls that should have been in plain sight. Still, the course played fast and looked nice. I've played there several times and this is the first problem I've had, so it's still a course I recommend.
