The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The Curtis Strange and Tom Clark design as the quieter, inland sibling to the River, with variety in the routing, adventurous greens (notably the tilted par-5 fifth), and a back nine that brings real elevation change. A fair middle ground, less penal than the River, though the rough punishes wayward shots.
Consistently praised
- A routing free of housing, with a private, wooded feel.
- Variety of doglegs, par-3 lengths and elevation on the back; maintenance held to resort standard.
Worth knowing
- Penal rough off the fairway; accuracy matters more than the yardage suggests.
Golfers recommend
- Pick the right side of the fairway; the greens here punish bad angles.
- Take a club less on downhill back-nine approaches.
