What a treat to play this course. Fairways not too tight even though it did have a lot of OB on the course. Greens were quick but had true roll making it for a great time. Several great holes to make it a challenge.

Beautiful and challenging golf course. Greens were fast and in great condition. This course is fun to play if you are a mid to high handicap.
