Decent golf course. Greens were not consistent. Wind is erratic there. I would consider playing there again with a discounted rate. There are better courses in the area.

My brother-in-law and I played there on Monday, December 31. When we got there, they were not very crowded...it was 8:00am. We paid for our round and went to the driving range. Driving range was not in great shape, but wasn't terrible. It sufficed for a warm-up. The course itself was really nice and fairly forgiving. I shoot a 110... More

We loved this place! A doable challenge with a nice view. We had a blustery sort of day but still enjoyed the course.

So 3.5 overall? That's based mostly on enjoyment. The greens and fairways were in pretty good shape, but many of the bunkers were like concrete. Too many hills and tough lies for the high handicapper, and way too much wind to be very enjoyable. Rolling greens and tough pin placement made it hard to make par for even the very... More

We played when it wasn't windy!! The course is interesting but the fairways were a bit "hard and bare" which made iron play a bit of a lottery. Nevertheless we enjoyed the course and the view from the bar balcony is spectacular.
