Loved it! Hidden Treasure

The course is nicely kept, the aprons were like royalty plush, and the course wasn’t a man eater. Will definitely return.

Much improved...

This is a fun but challenging course. The greens are quite fast and well cared for. Driver is taken out of your hands often if you want to score well. If you want to hit bombs you can do that too, but you might have to take some medicine.
On top of that the practice green and practice tee have been improved.
You can't beat the value if you're willing to drive a little bit out of the way.

Great course to golf on, rate of play was excellent and the course has come challenging holes. The greens were playing much faster than expected for the weather conditions. I would definitely replay this course.
