Played in GK Tournament Friday. This is a hidden gem of a course. It's off the beaten track and took a little to get there, meaning you have the clubhouse and not much in amenities out that direction. You really have to want to play there to fully enjoy the facilities. That is not to say the place is sparce; far from it. The course was a pleasure to play. Tough off the tee especially from the blues offering narrow chutes, uphill forced carries, tough undulating greens, and well placed watering stations to make playing here fun and comfortable. Tee boxes were a little uneven in spots so pick your place carefully. The rest of the course was spectacular. Great views abound. The fairways were in great shape. Bunkers were a little hard packed but still very playable -- I saw my fair share of them. The course plays very fair, you just need some additional course knowledge to play here. Having a Course Guide is invaluable with several holes playing blind shots from tee box. You can use your driver here. It may not seem the safest play but looking back, I am glad I did. You get past a lot of the trouble and if you can hit your target line your aggressive play will pay dividends. I would recommend taking with you a laser sight/yardage meter. Could have used it on more than a few holes to play. Distance markers are sparce but once you settled down and trusted what you saw you could play with some confidence. Course management is key and a lot of the holes do open up past the narrow chute. Play to your tendancies and you will reap the benefits.

Overall very impressed with the course. Reminds me of a little bit of DeBell. The course may read only 6000 yards but those 6000 yards could be the longest you every play if you have a rough day off the tee box. Greens rolled very true. Knowing where to land your ball is key here in the fairway or on the green. Confidence in your golf shot is also invaluable as this course will eat you alive if you have one shred of doubt. This is the type of course you have to play at least once to understand where to place your ball for future rounds. To sum it all up, I am glad I played here. Thanks GK!
