Review

“This Donald Ross course originally designed in 1925 provides a differentiated, fun layout that includes significant challenges. The course, which is fairly flat and easy to walk, has a number of water hazards, including significant carries off of some of the tee boxes. In particular the par 3s are challenging and include carries that put importance on placement on the green. The greens are generally sizable with some swales and changing contours, unlike most other Donald Ross courses. While the course plays over 6,900 yards from the tips, the five different tee boxes give all levels of play the opportunity to find the right challenge. In all, the course provides significant diversity between holes while requiring the ability to carry water and avoid well placed bunkers throughout the layout."

“Really flat piece of property with lots of straight holes. Not much variety and lacks distinctiveness. Fairly firm turf and good putting surfaces."

“Dan Schlegel did a magnificent restoration to this Donald Ross gem. It is brilliantly routed, a good use of water, judiciously placed bunkers, and terrific green complexes. If you get an invite, go."

“Fun, flat, easy to walk Donald Ross course with short green to tee distances. Great green complexes with swales and sections that are not the traditional Ross greens."
