Beautiful Course in great condition. Challenging but not punitive. Range balls are included (I like that!)

The practice area is outstanding: large putting green, stacked balls at driving range and chipping green. Staff wants you to enjoy your day at the course and facilities. The fairways are in great shape with ponds and streams throughout the course. With holes that require crossing over wide streams - there should be yardage markings (yardage book omits those distances). The greens are undulating and fast. After time change, they start at with 11:00 shotgun start - good idea to take power bar and drink in the bag. Lots of players using pull carts on this course.
