What a fun, but very skilled course. The course is not your average straight and flat course. This is a tight line, dog left, water hazard and elevated adventure from tee off at 1 to finish at the 18th green. If you think you can start with a couple balls in your bag only to start, think again. The course is really well maintained, fun hole placements and a great club house and staff. Oh and watch out of endless wildlife while playing.
This course is beautiful with deer and creeks and ponds and blackberries everywhere and well kept greens. However some tee boxes were not great but overall a very challenging course. Do not be tricked by the short yardages. Expect to score higher than your average unless you give yourself unlimited mulligans. First tee is very hard to find. It would be great if they put more signs to find it coz we ended up teeing off from the very front tees coz we couldn’t figure out we needed to walk up a hill behind hole 18. FYI Course closes at 7:45 for all golfers. Not sure if this is seasonal but definitely keep this in mind. When we called it seemed like they assumed we wanted to use a cart but the weather was very lovely so we thought we’d just walk. We’re from Los Angeles so most courses are relatively flat. Boy were we in for a fun time… We went at 3pm. It is very very hilly. And scenic. But hilly. If you walk be prepared for at least 16k steps. We did 9k in the front 9 alone. Don’t walk unless you’re trying to go on a hike. Many times my brother and I got up to a tee box and were extremely tired and sat down before hitting. We’re both teenagers and in decent shape. We’re used to walking a lot and usually never get a golf cart. Our round took 4.25 hours, but it was purely due to all the walking. We lost a lot of golf balls probably around 6-10 each. We joked you’re either in the fairway or out of bounds. Golf is hard. But it’s fun.
This course is a hidden gem!! Came up to visit from Utah, and this is my favorite course I have played to date. I was very surprised that it wasn’t completely booked out, but it is typically pretty easy to get a tee time. They let my wife and baby ride with me and we got a last minute tee time on a Saturday afternoon and then did 18 the following morning. Most courses have 1-2 “premier” holes, but this one has a ton. Lots of elevated tee boxes. Island par 3 to shoot at. Cliffside par 3. Water/ streams on some holes so you have to strategize how you want to play it. Overall a great course and will definitely be back if I am in the area. Played 9 with the “cart guy” as he called it that works there, Dave, and had a blast!
This course is tucked away in a beautiful natural setting, offering a challenging layout with elevation changes, water hazards, and narrow fairways that test even experienced golfers. The scenic views, especially along the back nine, provide a serene and enjoyable backdrop. The course is well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or a casual player, this course provides a memorable experience that combines the thrill of the game with the tranquility of nature.
Very impressed with this course. Absolutely loved every minute. I live a couple hours away but will definitely be back.
