It was very windy and chilly that day. The course looks wide open, but be careful. Your balls might lose their way to the greens in between fairways. Greens are tough to read and understand. First time visitors like me need more practice on the greens. Good luck 👍.

This review is dated for October 18th 2020. This course is a jack nicklaus design private country club. This place has great peaks and valley's , twist and turns, and some major elevation tee shots. The fairways were forgiving on some holes and narrow on others. Very very fun course design. The greens were in excellent condition and rolled really fast and pure! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because there was some yellow spots on the course, but I quickly forgot about the imperfections because it was so fun to play. One of my favorites!

This course review is dated for October 18th 2020. This course is a jack nicklaus design private club. Amazingly fun course design with peaks and valley's, twist and turns, and some extreme elevation tee shots. It felt and played like a true jack design. The fairways were forgiving on many holes but punishing on a few. The greens were very very fast and in excellent condition " pure". The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it needed some water, some yellow spots throughout the course. But overall , I forgot about the imperfections because it was so much fun to play. I could play here many many more times.

This venue is drop dead gorgeous so if you’re planning to get married here, do it! My boyfriend’s best friend was marrying his high school sweetheart here and we came here a couple times prior to the actual ceremony and reception for some rehearsals. The venue has plenty of parking but will require you to have a permit on the day of the event to ensure that invited guests are actually let in. There are plenty of spaces to rent within the club so depending on your party size, you could be put into one of the smaller banquet rooms, dining rooms, or main room with the adjacent lobby bar. This wedding featured an open bar for an hour and cash bar for the remainder of the evening. Drinks were served and sold at a reasonable price. The wedding ceremony took place outside and you just can’t miss the gorgeous view of the club behind you... so expect to take lots of pictures as well! Overall, lovely experience here albeit for the fact that they made a mistake on my dinner entree but I don’t think this was actually the fault of the venue itself so they don’t lose stars for that.
