Great Course

This course offered spectacular scenery and was well worth the cost of green fees. Very challenging with the amount of water around the course. Be prepared to donate a number of golf balls to the water and if you are only slightly off the fairway your ball may be surrounded by an abundance of poison ivy. I would be happy to play the course again.

great setup

First time there, was not disappointed. Really makes you think about what club to use. Long Par 3's which make this course challenging.

Where’s the marshal?

Very slow group in front of us holding up us a groups behind us. When we asked them to speed up play they slowed down even more. Very selfish!!
Other than that, excellent course and nice day. I’ll be back.

Gonna lose a lot of balls

Poison ivy around a lot of the end and tough if you’re a 15+ handicap. Otherwise one of the nicer places I’ve played.

Pristine

Challenging for women. Quite a lot of environmentally protected areas in front of some tees. Pretty course. Greens and fairways perfect. Love this course.

Course Wintered Well

Course is in great shape and wintered well.
Greens were a little long and slow but rolled true.
Fairways were in great shape, rough was long but expected early in the season.
Only complaint would be some tee boxes were beat up and showed they were not maintained during the late winter/spring off season.

Not for amateurs

I can’t hit the fairway from the whites where I have always played from on most courses. 150-180 carry is a bit much for seniors so I personally will not play this course again. I refuse to use the forward ( women’s) tee boxes just yet.
It’s otherwise a great course.
