Fun track, but conditions are always a shot in the dark. Definitely prefer the back nine, especially holes 14-16.

Really good design (no surprise given it’s a Dye design). The facilities are run down. The clubhouse needs major renovations. The course was in good shape, though.

Layout is super fun and conditions are better than most in town. Great variation of wide open holes and hazard/OB. Plenty of risk/reward. Favorite holes are 4-11-12-15.

Hands down the best course in Georgetown, but comes with a hefty price tag. The front nine is pretty standard, and hole 8 is always a challenge for me. The back nine brings quite a bit more water and tree trouble into play, and holes 12-17-18 are always fun.
