Fees and Costs associated with this course:
Green fee is $40 for 18 holes, with $2 off for city residents. doeesn' not include cart fee. This is a long course with long walks between greens and next tee box, so a cart is pretty much a good idea. I did walk the course but I was rather tired for the last few holes

History of the golfer who played this course:
Been playing almost 6 years. Need to work on consistant ball striking more. Haven't been playing very much this year and it shows.

Specific likes about this course:
This is a nice course with lots of elevation changes and some rather hard holes. Lots of risk reward options to get in trouble. Pretty much open fairways with not too many trees in the way

Dislikes about this course:
The course is set up so you almost have to ride a cart with long distances from greens to next tees. Also some long distances to #1 and #10 tees. With lots of hills to go up and down, not an easy course to walk at all. This is also a course layout where it helps if you have someone to show you around the first time out, as it can be hard to know where you need to hit your next shot.

Is this course worth the fees?
This is one of the most expensive local courses I've played, and if you figure in the cart fee, which is almost a must, it's a bit expensive. It's a real interesting course to play, but I like to walk, and this is not easy on this layout.

19th Hole: What extra amenities did this course offer?
There is a restaurant and pro shop available.

Summary and opinions of this golf course:
This is an excellent course to play with lots of challenging holes. If you hate to ride a cart, you may want to pick a different course. If you like risk and reward holes, this is a good choice to play.
