Pros:
Well taken care of grounds with no debris on the fairway and nicely cut grass.
Nice tee signs and good difficulty adjustment between long and short tees
Gravel tee pads were well done and leveled off
Couple nice scenery holes
Probably the cleanest course I have ever played
Cons:
Takes a bit of effort to get to
Nothing really offered for upper level players
Other Thoughts:
This course has been on my wish list for a while. It's located inside a 1200 acre high end resort, offering golf, hunting, mountain biking and even guided tree climbing, yes tree climbing. Getting there takes a bit of driving, we came in through the north gate, checked in there and got a guest pass for the car, then had to go to the lodge to pay to play the course, fee was $10 but when compared to the other activities there, it's pretty cheap.
First off this is not a professional level course nor is it a beginner one either. The longs offer a decent challenge to an mid level AM and the shorts to an INT level player. Course is laid out on top one of the mountains and makes good use of elevation changes, there are some fun shots to throw and some decent lines to shape. For the most part it's fair and rewarding for good shots but there could be some nasty rollaways in spots. The course is well maintained though, the fairways and green areas are well kept, some nasty rough exists on the first couple holes but it's going to take a shank to be in it.
I was a little concerned about being just an average guy riding up to play here but everyone we spoke with that worked there were extremely nice and made us feel welcome. This is definitely a place to stay for people that are much more affluent than me but I wasn't made to feel that way. I'm kinda torn on how I feel about places like these, but seems like access is available to anybody who wants it so that's a plus. Course is worth stopping to play if you're on a trip through the area.
