Going to reiterate most of my review from last week when I played here with exception that it was in even better shape. Conditions simply are vastly improved from the previous ownership. This golf course is now in great shape. Especially the greens and fairways (you heard right, the fairways). Only blemish is the bunkers sand yet not terrible and certainly playable.

Played with GK’ers GDR23, rgm2525 and abbacat on Monday 6/17 teeing off at 10:40am. Wendy played the forward tees while Gary, Ron and I played the tips. This is a very challenging Par 71, measuring over 6800 yards from the black tees.

I enjoyed stepping back for a change but next time out going to play the blues tees there. I posted photos from my rounds 6/11 and 6/17 so you can see the layout. It’s got it all with a great variety of holes.

Greens are tricky, undulating and shaped so the pins can be tucked away. They are all well-guarded green complexes.

Tee shots are very demanding requiring shaping the ball around big trees at times and avoiding some hazards. Approach shots are mostly to elevated greens making this layout even longer. However there is nothing unfair about it and it’s a blast to play.

After the round Gary had to take off to get back to the Golf Development Complex for lesson but Ron, Wendy and I had a bite to eat that comes with your round. Nice selection on the lunch menu which come with chips. Good grub.

Highly recommended especially with the GK Coupon deal.
