The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The Willard Byrd and Robert Trent Jones Sr. Cardinal, the strong, water-heavier companion to the Dogwood: a tree-lined layout over rolling terrain with tricky green complexes. Reviews call it every bit as solid as the Dogwood but different, if less visually stunning.
Consistently praised
- Plays differently from the Dogwood, with more water in the mix and a risk-reward 18th some golfers prefer.
- Rolling, tree-lined terrain and tricky green complexes.
Worth knowing
- Generally considered less visually striking than the Dogwood, and private, with water across several holes.
Golfers recommend
- Mind the water cluster on the early holes (2 through 4) and again around 11 and 12.
- Pair it with the Dogwood for a complete 36-hole look at the club.
