Quick Summary

Two distinct sections of the course: Holes 1 through 9 are hilly, with reasonable elevation change; holes 10 through 18 are flat, but have added bumps and swales in the fairways plus elevated greens. Greens are receptive and slower, so good scoring opportunities. Nice clubhouse and restaurant with excellent hospitality.
