Great Course, one of the best that I have played

The course is beautiful, challenging and extremely well maintained. I took my son there for his birthday. We had a super time, the staff was great, it turned out to be a great birthday present. I would recommend this course to you all. We will do it again.

Great Course

Thunderstorms passed through the night before, so the first 9 holes were cart path only. The next 9 holes also had several cart path only holes. That greatly slowed the time of play. The course is in good shape, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I am just returning to golf after over a year layoff due to physical issues.

Nice Course, need serious improvement

The fairways were scalped to the ground, so every time you took a stroke, you had to deal with the caliche. The greens had been sanded, thank god, otherwise the ball would have been blown off the green. We will put this course on our reserve list, not primary list to play.

The course condition was not that good. The pace of play was extremely slow, took us 5 hours to finish a round.

Great Course

We got there way early to eat at the Lighthouse Country Club Restaurant, however was closed because their chef left. So we had to back track to get lunch. Unfortunately, no where we looked did they warn us their restaurant was closed.
That said, the course is in sterling shape everything was prefect. Absolutely a great course, lots of challenges, I will go there again in a heartbeat even though it is 42 miles away.

Great Course

It was a prefect day for golf, a day that matched the course. I thought the course very difficult, pin placement was a large part of that. The greens are very challenging. The tees, fairways and greens were all immaculate.
This is definitely a course to visit again.

Great Course

All the tees, fairways and greens were excellent. The course is very difficult because the fairways are narrow. They did not have the yard edging on the fairway. So if you did not land on the fairway, your ball stopped quickly in the rough which made it difficult to find and slowed down the pace of play. The greens were very fast and undulating, which made a one put from any place difficult for a first time player.
The problem was drainage on the 8th and 9th hole. This made it very difficult for those that can not hit the precise yardage required to successfully get a par. I am one of those, I could not hit the required distance.
I still highly recommend the course. It is well kept and very picturesque with deer in the way and you have to shoo them away.
It was a great experience, I will play it again.

We played 18 holes, the course was in spectacular shape, tees, fairways and greens. The greens in particular are undulating and extremely challenging. The fairways are very deceptive too. It was our first time on the course, I hope to play there again.

Very enjoyable round

Most of the fairways were great However from the 14th fairway to the 16th fairway there was a lot of Johnson grass in the fairways which made playing them difficult. There was evidence of weed control, but it had not taken affect yet. The staff was super friendly and helpful and we had a very enjoyable round of golf.

Enjoyed the experience

I had not played this course in years, they have made it much more golf friendly. There was a lot of Bermuda around the greens and some of the fairways needed some smoothing out. For example, on one fairway they had cut down many trees. Even though the ball was left of those trees by 5 or 10 yards, the balls ( both of us) took a hard right. Again, the fairway needs some smoothing out.
Still, it was a relaxing experience, which is what golf is all about. Right???
Enjoyed it, will do it again.

Not that good, don't waste your time

The tees were good, the greens were great and the fairways were terrible. There was very little grass remaining on the fairways.
Additionally, the allowed 5 player groups and when we caught up to them, they were very rude.
They would drive directly up to the green, fool around and then leave the green in an absolutely maddening slow speed.
I will not be returning to this golf course.

The course is in great shape, the best that I have seen it. The recent rains may have helped.

The fairways were in great shape, the greens excellent. The only exception that I would make is that some of the tee boxes are not level, making it an issue to set up for teeing off.
