It's sad I'm writing with a 3-star review. This is a fantastic place, facility, and course. I really enjoyed the course and the views. However, in today's round, they had a hole *closed* and a par 5 shortened to a 85 yd par 3. And the restaurant - which were told would close at 6 - closed at 3, so we missed the end of the golf tournament. I can't think I've ever had a round with a hole "closed" , a downwind par 5 shortened, and wrong advice about the restaurant. This is such a nice place I hope I just had a one time only, bad experience.

Well maintained course, yet the ball washers haven't returned since the end of the COVID-19 era. Nice driving range and practice area. Not very walkable as the course was laid out to maximize lot values and is very spread out.
