Reader Ratings / Reviews
- As a beginner, I found this course to be challenging. There is enough opening down the fairway so I rarely lost any balls into the rough or rock. There's not too many water features but a few holes have giant sand traps. The grass was in great shape but the tee box was soft. Overall, a great value and I would definitely play here again. The two guys in the pro shop were friendly and knowledgeable.
