| Review Summary:
One of the best public courses in the Metro area. Very challenging. Great
condition from tee to green. The addition of carts with GPS in '06 is a
real bonus giving accurate yardage from any location. If you are a
walker it can get a bit lengthy from each green to tee box. Somewhat
spendy non-resident fee. |
| Conditions:
Immaculate conditions throughout
the course. Well groomed tee boxes, fairways and rough. The greens roll
fast and true with the exception of hole 4. Green is heavily shaded and
a bit shaggy. |
| Scenery:
Beautiful.
Course is carved through wetlands and wildflowers. |
| Layout: A
great design shot-wise, requiring great shots on virtually every hole.
The distances and elevations from green to tee box can get quite
tiresome if walking. If the budget allows, take the cart. Watch out on
the first hole if you go right as the range is located adjacent to it. |
| Services:
Excellent service on and off the course. If you are a beer drinker the
selection is limited. |

| Review Summary:
Course layout was good, but greens were in horrible shape (May 06). |
| Conditions:
Played on an extremely windy and
dry day and the course, especially the front nine, was very tough. The
fairways, bunkers and tee boxes were in great shape, but the greens were
horrible. |
| Scenery:
Nice
scenery - the front nine is pretty open (links style), while the back
nine is a little tighter. |
| Layout: Great
layout. A couple of measurements from the tee boxes on the back
(specifically nos. 13 and 15) would be nice. The tee shot on 13 is a
longer carry than it looks and the fairway on 15 runs into a creek about
260 from the tee. |
| Services:
No complaints. In fact, our cart indicated that it had a problem and a new
cart arrived within 2 or 3 minutes. |
