Driving Directions

Resort, 18 holes, $160.00 - $160.00

This course has very wide fairways, which are primarily straight with only a few dogleg designs. The terrain is fairly flat with some uphill and downhill shots on the back nine. The fairways have some undulation and some mounds on the sides. The greens are quite large with some undulation and some that are domed. Learning to read the greens will be your biggest barrier to scoring well. There is some water on the course but it is only in play on a couple holes. Watch out for the creek that crosses the fairway in front of the green on hole #18, a 394-yard, par 4, you can't see it from the position of your first shot. The rough is generally tall and thick requiring more club than normal for the distance required. There are numerous sand bunkers on the fairways and around the greens, all of which are large and many of which are deep. Robert Muir Graves renovated the course in 1991.
