This course is a lot of fun. Every hole has interesting features and contours. Feels open when you look around, but it’s actually much tighter than it looks when it comes to where you actually need to hit your shots.

Course is quirky and memorable. Green complexes and bunkers are fun and absurd. Great course to play 1-2 times a year with friends. Well manicured. Friendly staff.

Course is very fun with challenging greens. Definitely a Doak course because there are some holes where if you put in the wrong spot you are totally screwed. Greens rolled really nicely though and the speeds were good. It had a lot of good holes that were fun and interesting.

Can be a little rougher around the edges, but great value. If it was firmer it would be a good links course

The redesign is fantastic. Thought provoking for good players but not overly hard for bad players. A truly great mix. One of the best designs out there for what they had.
