This is my home course and where I learned to play. The holes are quite long and unless you drive 350'+, there are no "Ace" chances. You can really work on unloading a long drive on holes 1-6 because there aren't any trees in the way. #s 7 and 8 are nice holes with some challenging trees and out of bounds areas. #9 is the shortest and gives <300' drivers like me a birdie chance. If you play in the summer, bring your rubber boats and deet. The course is seriously overwatered! I play several times a week when the weather is nice, but I really wish that they would cut the watering in half. However, I have a sentimental attachment to this course because without it I would have never taken up this game that I enjoy so much.
