Very scenic and challenging course. We had a great time. There were a couple of holes that had hoses/sprinklers coiled up in the fairways, but we were able to play around them. Very well kept course. The staff we dealt with were very friendly. ...
Dinner afterwards was great. We tried a variety of dishes to include the beef fajitas, nachos, wings and salads. Everything was great--I would definitely recommend the beef fajitas!! Overall we had a great experience and look forward to our next visit.

s, especially near the greens.
Several instances of alarms going off during backswing or going off constantly while you are putting.
Also, the bunkers only have about 1/2 inch of sand, with hard pan underneath.

This course was in really decent shape for mid December. There were a few risk reward holes where you hit a blind shot around a hill, I watched a few people do it, so give it a go. The greens ran so beautiful. I'd guess a 12. Who ever is taking...
care of them, I salute you. I wish I had taken video of the speed
