It’s a pretty easy course to play and walk. I play here a few times a year, and it’s always been well maintained. The green speeds vary from green to green, fairly unpredictable. Fairways are wide open, love the par 3’s and 5’s, number 10 is a fun hole. The regulars won’t like you being there if you are just a visitor. I’ve had to dodge their tee shots on more than one occasion. The pro shop staff is very friendly.
