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.

Fantastic match play course. Lots of half pars. I hope they keep the course firm and fast. Has potential to be awesome. Not an easy walk though

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.

Terrible the fairway is none existent either dirt patches or more rough not worth the price couldn’t even leave cart path. Do not spend 60 dollars to play here maybe 5 but not 60.
