The photos looked nice but the reviews seemed lackluster so I wasn't sure what to expect. The course fits my game to a tee and I played well so maybe this is a rose colored review. I loved this layout. Its a short(6150tips) compact somewhat tight layout set in a picturesque valley. It has three 300yd par 4 holes and a good mix of medium and stout par 4's and 5's. Fairways were lush with decent roll. Greens were medium fast with tricky breaks. They held high shots but balls hit short would run up. Not sure when the course was built but the greens were somewhat turtle backed. Don't know if that was by design or how they ended up after years of maintenance, but putting had to be given proper attention. Not a lot of bunkers on the course and I wasn't in any but they looked fine. No rakes. The surrounding brown hills were a nice contrast to the green course, I'd like to see it in the spring when it's all green. The negative. Tee boxes were a little slanted and the five par 3's were all about the same distance on the card. They tried to move the tees a bit but 5 different shots would have been perfect. The 2nd hole has an alternate hole and the one not in play looked much more interesting. $24 hot deal time that came with a cart but it seemed very walkable with some elevation change. Tees and greens very close to each other and the course does seem somewhat shoehorned into the site. It doesn't really remind me of anything I have ever played in the area. I highly recommend it and am curious what others think.
