I shoulda checked before scheduling.

After committing to play, I find that it is "cart path only" when I arrive at the course. This course is quite hilly and involves a lot of uphill and downhill walking even if you hit the fairway every time.
Some holes could've easily accommodated cart travel. Other holes had moist areas -- those holes could be "cart path only." So the two of us, 82 and 87 year old guys got quite a workout. But the kicker is that, evidently, that cart path only rule only applies to those of us who are not property owners. The threesome behind us were using self-owned carts and were NOT adhering to "cart path only." The takeaway? -- check beforehand as to the course conditions. I didn't. BTW.....the course is NOT walkable.

Improvements under new ownership

Front desk person was friendly. Greens were quick. New owner has installed new flags and cups and is working on rejuvenating the sand traps.

Excellent condition for middle of winter!

Played this course for the first time ever in mid-January after several days of rain, so the course was wet and we were restricted to cart path only. In spite of the wetness, the course was in remarkably good shape. Fairways were short and greens were moderately fast. Doglegs favor right-handers who fade their drives. Lots of sand. Lots of blind shots. Length of the course from the gold tees is just right for this 76 year old! Big greens let you brag on how many GIR you had!
