“A really good golf course with great conditions and a variety of holes. Par threes range from 150 yards (front pin on the 9th) to 260 yards (11th)!"

Review

“A very solid Ross design that boasts a membership proud of its competitive players and its greens will always defend par. Could use some tree removal. Other drawbacks: you have to cross two different roads during the round and while the greens are very demanding, because of modern green speeds, much of them are "un-pinnable."
