Reviewed By Massmaine
One of the nicest course I have played on. From driving up and being met at the car by a bag attendant making us feel welcomed, well stocked proshop that had everything you would need. A round of golf also includes range balls, one of the largest practice putting greens I have seen as well as a nice chipping area to warm up on. The attendants make you fee like your a member even though your a guest at the hotel. My one issue was actually with the Hotel website, It shows the Clubhouse grill as being open. This day and age you could easily update that within a minute or two. In terms of the course, the pace of play is perfect, just enough for you to take in the amazing views and quick enough to keep play moving. The conditions were great, greens were true, fairways amazing and the tee boxes we in great shape. I do wish they changed the hole locations every few days to keep you playing a different course every few days. It is worth a trip if your within a drive of the course, or if your staying at the resort it is a must play. Big shout out to the workers who were friendly and very welcoming
