Reviews
Very challenging, fast greens, great practice facilities. Pro shop a little lacking for the caliber of club
Couple poorly designed holes hold this track back but the conditioning is top.
Was in good nick when I played it and overall enjoyed it. Putted off the green into a hazard on the 4th (I think it was the 4th, stupidly severe green). There are some holes that are just irritating, Par 5’s where you can only hit iron off the tee because a hazard runs across the fairway. The driving range and practice area are really good facilities.
