Difficult course as greens are undulating with many tiered greens. Always in great shape and service is incredible. Fun holes but demanding accuracy.

Stayed 3 nights on property in a September. The lodging and staff were amazing. Course layout was extremely fun and rewarded good shots. The fairways are wide and course was in incredible condition, but my only gripe is the rough was too long.

Super long from the tips. Some cool holes and good views. Typical RTJ course but feels a little bit nicer than some others.
