The layout of the course is interesting, challenging and features perfectly manicured lush, rolling fairways. You'll be glad you experienced this excellent combination of hole designs and truly great golf. Water comes into play on 10 holes.

Great course

I played this course for the first time after driving by it for a year and I'm glad I did. Long course but very beautiful. Greens were in great shape and very fast. Over all a great course and I look forward to playing it again.

Disappointing but not all their fault

Check in was great.., was pouring down rain…. Waited 30 minutes but decide to give it a try. They changed it to cart path only in the middle of the round so it was a long wet round . So not totally their fault but not enjoyable at all. And no offer for a rain check 😢

Needs a Refresh

The course is a bit challenging, with fast greens and some interesting approach areas. I think the whole course needs a bit of a refresh. The golf carts are old and falling apart. Limited booze selection at the club house and on the beverage cart on the course. I doubt that I would play this course again.
