“Lush private golf course with multi million dollar home lining most fairways. Impressive driving range and very comfortable carts. Nicklaus designed course which to me is built for the average golfer. Very few holes where you are challenged from tee to bottom of the cup. Especially liked holes #7, and #18 (pictured). I dont think a low handicap golfer would feel challenged playing this course every day, but a mid handicap player would enjoy most of the holes and only feel beat up by a couple of them. I enjoyed playing the course once, but for the guest fee, you can play better public courses."

“Quite a few holes where the drives were challenging but the approaches werent and vice-versa. Only a couple holes where the drive, approach, and greens were all equally challenging. Private course - Nicklaus designed. Pretty low evaluation from me. It just didnt seem worthy, based on the new criteria of being in the top 25% of candidate courses. Course is lined with multi millions dollar homes so a majority of golfers are going to be impressed with lush fairways and killer homes, but if you start looking at layout, variety, etc... the course falls short. I'll probably be an outlier for this course. Private course in a gated community. I'm sure the members love the course, but not a course worthy of anything more than perhaps top 25-50 in State. Conditioning was its strongest asset."
