TL;DR A smashing golf course of two very different halves: the front nine is a polite handshake, the back nine a gin-fuelled conga line through the forest. I booked in at the last minute on a Tuesday morning in August, the sort of day when the sun behaves impeccably and the breeze remembers its manners. My companions for the round, let’s call them Brad and Chad, were the sort of chaps who wear mirrored sunglasses large enough to be visible from space, perched upside down on hats the size of satellite dishes. From the first tee, they treated me to a brief but pointed performance of Minnesota Not-So-Nice, scowling at my cheery greeting while a Bluetooth speaker belched forth hideous music by someone almost certainly named Jelly Bits. Chad, with the air of a man delivering bad news about a soufflé, announced I would not be joining them. So, I toddled off as a lone wolf behind the Bros, resigned to a day of glacial progress. The front nine unfolds like a park stroll with a sensible aunt, rolling hills, tree-lined fairways clipped as neatly as a prep school lawn, and a mercifully free of the ostentatious flourishes favoured by designers of the early 2000s. I was settling into the rhythm when I began to regret taking a cart rather than walking, my preferred mode of golf transport, until the back nine revealed that walking here would have been tantamount to volunteering for a coronary. Around the 13th, the course appeared to ingest a small quantity of hallucinogens and transform into an exuberant, slightly deranged carnival ride. Towering trees hemmed in fairways that twisted like a politician’s promise, elevation changes more dramatic than a soap opera, and greens with the kind of malevolent subtlety that would make Machiavelli proud. It’s thrilling, terrifying, and impossible not to love. By the 17th, the course has composed itself again, smoothing its jacket and straightening its tie, before returning you to the clubhouse as if nothing untoward had happened. Brad and Chad spent the day flinging clubs and expletives with abandon, and will likely tell people the course was “tricky.” They’d be right. From the back tees, it’s a proper test, a course that could turn tournament play into absolute pandemonium, and that, in my book, is a very fine thing indeed.

This is a big man’s course playing from the back tees (7000 plus yds). Very scenic but extremely challenging as some holes required precision drives (like #12,13 & 14). Greens were running pretty fast considering it just rained. Fairways are good but bunkers are a mess due to Covid-19. Bring lots of balls if you tend to spray it all over. I still think you’ll love this challenging course.

Premier challenge! We played the Championship 18 today. Mostly long and slightly kinked 200+ blues, 4 500+, good size greens, a few very challenging, some long and wide open, as well as some bends, bunkers, water, alleys and a handful of deep drops, which means carts and downhill speed bumps - unless you like walking a lot of hills. It was a rewarding challenge that left minor room for mistakes. Greens and fairways well kept. We saw a handful of deer. Lots of room for play on the greens. You have to check out this course!

Love this course! My favorite course around this area, big wide open fairways, very well maintained. I'm an early morning golfer and everytime I get there, people are out cutting the fairways and always making sure it's great for the day! If you want an open course and a little it of a challenge, I strongly recommend this course!! The back 9 gets a little tricky, but very very very fun!

The summit golf course is a great course that has some great holes including one swinging over a canyon! Only downside to the course is that walking can be tough with the length of the holes especially when everyone else has golf carts and are right behind you.
