Diamond in the rough

Nice layout, links style. Greens are tough. Some were airrated so that wasn't good but I guess this time of year to be expected. Only complaint would be please when you airrate use ample sand.

First timer

It was my first time playing here. Beautiful, open course. Greens and fairway were surprisingly firm and made for great footing and solid contact. Greens were large and had some real challenges. 10/10 would recommend and I cannot wait to play again!

Gem

Disappointed I didn’t play a round here sooner. Walked 18 holes carrying the bag. Loved every minute of the hilly terrain. Challenging pin placements. Wide open fairways. Thick rough, avoid at all costs.
