I was in the area, so I wanted to check this course out. From the drive in to the clubhouse I was already impressed. The first hole on the left looked well manicured and professionally maintain and I shortly found out I was right.
In the clubhouse, the staff was courtesy and helpful. I played as a singled and joined another single and a two-some who were hitting balls on the driving range when I arrived. It was my first time but the guys I was with have played it before and quickly warned me to enjoy the front 9 as the back 9 was much narrower.
It was different to see the big difference between the front (more wide open and links-style golf) and back (narrow with lots of trees, dog-legs and uphill and downhill holes). It was quite challenging especially with the lightning-fast greens and slopey difficult pin locations but I thoroughly enjoyed my round especially being able to use all my clubs. You definitely had to think through your round, attempting to go for it or lay-up and try a fade or a draw for many holes.
The only disappointment I had was the number of 2-somes that were not paired up. There were 3 2-somes behind us and we had to let the fast 2-some through. The marshall should have paired one of them up. Other than that and my terribly scored round, I will definitely be back (if I'm in the area) and HIGLY recommended this course especially it being very reasonably price...absolutely worth it!!!
