The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A quirky, hilly nine where seven of nine holes feature blind shots and there are essentially no fairways, just cut grass in an old-style pasture layout. Most writeups embrace the eccentricity and the ferry-ride vibe, while noting conditions and pace can be rough.
Consistently praised
- An old-style pasture character and constant blind shots make every round different.
- Ferry trip plus hilltop setting give it a real lost-in-time feel.
Worth knowing
- Maintenance and pace draw the most common complaints.
Golfers recommend
- Use the aim flags on the hilltops; blind tee shots are unavoidable.
- Treat the round as exploration, not a scoring test, and the quirk lands better.
