Nice course, but the greens were too slow.

John (Lynchburg, TN) says:
This is also a great course for my wife and me. A bit more upscale than the others we play and very nice. We've also met some great folks at the course who we've become friends. We also hope to play here in the years to come. John and Joy White

We played this course twice on our trip, greens were a bit bumby on first visit, but as promised, were far better when we played a week later. Very enjoyable course for all handicap levels.

No complaints from any one. Good job.

Robert (Fredericton, NB) says:
The quality is good, the pace is good, and a 15 handicapper can be comfortable here.

Vikas (Clarenville, NL) says:
An extremely challenging course. Well laid out and in excellent condition.

Albert (Owatonna, MN) says:
By far the best of the three courses we played.

Matt (Molene, IL) says:
This course is awesome and the most impressive course I played. Water is in play on most holes, but the fairways are pretty open. It's a pretty course and just started taking public golfers. The entrance is gated, adding to the ritzy feel of the course. Range balls are free with golf, a rare added plus. It's busy enough that you might be paired with someone, even in November, and the pace of play can be a bit slow. Overall, a highly recommended course.
