“Great course. Unfortunately, I played it during thunderstorm season. The weather was very hot and humid so the greens were soft and lacked some of the challenge they'd have in cooler weather."

“The redo of many of the bunkers was well done. Overall the bunkers are deeper making the greenside bunkers more difficult. The new fairway bunkers are well placed increasing the overall challenge score for this excellent layout. So many changes in the modern era make the courses easier. It is nice to see increased difficulty for a change."

“Excellent golf course. Wonderful layout with superb greens. Very walkable too. The best part might be the outstanding practice facility they have across the street. I see why the Senior Tour loves coming here."
