02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

Described as Ross light: a short, walkable, wide-open par 70 with crowned but gentler greens and almost no water, long a member favorite for being a pleasant walk in the park. Built for enjoyment and confidence rather than a stern test.

Best forWalkableForgivingScenery

Consistently praised

Wide fairways, minimal rough, and few bunkers make for an enjoyable, confidence-building round.
Crowned Ross greens in a tamer, more approachable form than No. 2, and easily walkable.

Worth knowing

Plays short at around 6,100 yards, so big hitters may find it lacks teeth; some fairway rises snuff out drives.

Golfers recommend

Use the ground game; the greens are elevated but receptive to run-up shots.
Treat it as a warm-up or fun round, not the resort’s headline test.
