I consider this my "home" course as I play here between 12 and 15 times a season. Do yourself a favor and get yourself an Advantage card. If you work it out you only have to play 4 or 5 times to get your money's worth. Anyway about the course. The greens are always firm and fast and can take a beating (NO one seems to repair pitch marks these days). The course has a consistent right to left tilt especially on the fairways. The course has a links feel in a woodsy setting and many shots from the tee and on approach are pure target golf. The cart staff is incredibly friendly and every one of the bar staff (you know who you are!) treat you like old friends. I love it here. My only gripe is that the course is becoming overrun with pop up residences and some of my favourite holes which at one time were encapsulated by trees no are decidedly less aesthetic. Oh.. and the bunkers are dirt, you are better off chipping out than using a traditional approach.

Despite what some reviewers have wrote, although demanding this course is not the contrived "tricked out" behemoth you expect. If you play from the correct tees every hole is a very good chance of par or better. The vistas are phenomenal and the 4 bedroom cabins quite comfortable (Go to the website and take advantage of their stay and play while you have a chance as I've heard this will no longer be an option soon and the course will revert back to it's previous exclusivity). Despite carding a 12 on the front 9 and 10 on the back I scored quite well here. The greens are expansive and undulating so while a GIR is easy enough to come by, finding yourself on the correct tier can take a few rounds to figure out. There are some blind shots but I didn't find them unfair (Unlike a certain layout by a prominent multiple major winner in Middlefield, CT). The weather was perfect, the course was in great shape and my fiancé and I had the course to ourselves. While not the course for a beginner or a younger player, there are tee boxes for almost every distance level and I highly recommend giving this track a go. Oh, and a shout out to Joe Z, the general manager who was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The ONLY issue, is that I forgot my golf shoes (or thought I did they ended up being under my fiancé's hiking pack in the bed of her truck) and they didn't rent nor have my size to purchase. Oh well. My fault anyway.
I have to go back here soon
