“Beautiful location and venue. The greens have unusual contouring, with many table sized humps, leaving few playable pin locations. Difficult course with few options for high handicappers. Tough test of golf."

“Not one of Nicklaus best designs. There is water on 15 holes and most also have trees closely lining the fairways. The course is very penal from the first swing to the last. There are a number of long forced carrys over marshes and water that can't be avoided. The location is very scenic but the course is so tight and penal that playing it is no fun."

“Private course that was built and Nicklaus remodeled. Front 9 is mostly old layout, flat along river with water and trees. Back 9 is new and carved through the rocks with many spectacular holes. Went through bankruptcy but new owners are working hard to upgrade. Fun to play if you can get on."
