I played twice this last week Wed August 10th and Saturday August 13th. I have been wanting to play this course for a few years now after seeing many photos online. I have been playing golf for over 30 years and let me say that this is the best value I have ever played. The views are amazing, the greens were consistent and very good. For the money charged the course could not be in any better shape. It is expensive to maintain a golf course, and the only way this could be better is fairways, and there is just no way to make it better charging the same as every other course that offers less. The traps had good sand, the greens held great, were consistent speeds and no ball marks. Probably because most of the golfers I saw there aside from the ones in my group did not hit the ball very well or high for that matter. Pace of play was 4.5 hours both days, so all the propoganda by the locals to keep play away is BS. There tends to be a little bit of a dominant group of people here which you will have to see for yourself, and yes they tend to play slow, but we did not experience any issues beyond what is expected for the time of day and the golf course. The lay out was fantastic by the way, it looks like the reknown William Bell took his time designing ( 1964) this one and I am glad he did because the property is an absolute gem. In fact it is a golf designer dream canvas. Go play it ! If you know how to get a tee time.
