The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
An Ellis and Dan Maples layout golfers describe as built for the average player but no pushover for good ones, with doglegs both ways, elevation, blind shots, tight corridors, and small greens. It draws a loyal, value-minded following.
Consistently praised
- Plenty of variety: doglegs left and right, uphill and downhill holes, elevated tees and greens.
- Bent-grass greens, a rarity that gives a different putting feel, plus friendly service and strong value.
Worth knowing
- Some blind shots, tight fairways, and small greens can frustrate first-timers.
Golfers recommend
- Prioritize accuracy off the tee over distance into the tight corridors.
- Walkable, and a good budget-friendly add-on round rather than a marquee day.
