Very good dessert golf course

Good course that was a great value. Good mix of easier and more difficult holes. The grassed in areas are generous in size. Stray off them is tough on the score and tough on the clubs.

Worst course conditions I've played on in 20 years

Nice looking club house and environs. Very nice inside. Staff is friendly. First indication something was wrong was the practice green. Very spotty overseed and very bumpy. Greens on the course were that and worse. Can't remember putting on worse greens, immediately I knew the round was not going to be worth my attention. Fairways look as if there was a half hearted attempt to overseed, the dormant Bermuda shows everywhere. There was no marshal to speed up the two very slow groups ahead of us. In short, it was a painful round of golf. I can't imagine this course will recover without at least a year of investing a lot of money. GolfNow should stop listing it.

Great course

We had a great round. Lots of challenging holes, but still playable if you miss the fairway. It was quite windy so that made it even more difficult. The beverage cart missed us, but we only saw her twice. Great service from the staff.

Hard to give a true assessment

Unfortunately it was very windy the day we played (20-30mph) so it was hard to judge the course. We found the fairways to be too firm and there were some brown areas, even on some greens, but we would like to go back and play under more favourable wind conditions. It was good value for the money.
