The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
An Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay design golfers call one of the better Palmer layouts, with generous fairways and big greens offset by large bunkers and water that comes into play often, especially on the par 3s. The dramatic finish to a shared double green at 9 and 18 gets singled out.
Consistently praised
- Wide fairways and large greens make it inviting and very playable.
- Strong par 5s and one of the more memorable finishing holes in the area.
Worth knowing
- All-carry par 3s with little bailout punish loose iron play, and large lakes come into play regularly.
Golfers recommend
- Take extra club into the generous greens on the forced-carry par 3s.
- A good late-day round after a more taxing course; less exhausting.
