…not a fan of a hole with a long forced carry on the last hole. Long distance between holes Unorganized Parking Lot Bag Drop area seemed not very functional ability and starting holes across the street causes confusion

Very tight. Not really a driver course. It’s in a neighborhood and the homes are just way too close and takes away from what could be a decent golf course. A couple of frustrating golf holes made worse by the narrowness around the course

This George Cobb designed course with the 14th as its signature hole is known for its beautiful surroundings and the ever changing winds patterns making it play different every round.
