Great time

First time playing here. Course is in great condition, fairways were great, greens rolled true. Saw three deer run across the fairway on the third tee box. Beautiful scenery. Crew working on course= good. Crew using every loud piece of equipment they could find= bad. The noise did take away from the round a little bit. All in all had a great time. Will be back.

Great morning

Great nine holes to stretch the legs. Looked really backed up as we finished but if you want to walk nine holes, you can’t beat this place.

Beautiful, fun course

Best 9 hole around. Course is in fantastic condition. Pace of play is pretty slow, and because it’s in a valley and most deals are around sunset, it’s probable that you won’t play the last hole or two. If you can get on early, it’s well worth it. Relaxing but challenging course. Will be back.
