been play about 6 years, Handicap is old age and being out of shape.

Specific likes about this course:
The course plays to 6989 yards from the back tees, par is 70, rating is 72.8/136. The course is layied out around a creek, with lots of out of bounds, and wildlife areas. Some very interesting hole designs, with elevation changes.One par 4 hole you tee off down hill to a landing area some 30 yards below the tee box. Then the second shot is back uphill to an elevated green on the side of a hill, some 30 -40 yards above you. Not an eaxy hole at all.

Dislikes about this course:
Teh course is very hard to play and not at all suited to the average golfer. First time I played this course, I lost 15 golf balls to the wildlife areas, and out of bounds areas. I've been told this about average for most golfers playing this course.

Is this course worth the fees?
If you add in the cost of a dozen or more balls to the green fees, this course gets very expensive fast. It offers some interesting challenges, but you'd better be very good off the tee if you intend to play here.

19th Hole: What extra amenities did this course offer?
There is a full size restaurant and pro shop available, about what you'd expect with a semi-private golf club.

Summary and opinions of this golf course:
This is way too hard a course to play with all the out of bounds areas. It does offer some interesting shot challenges, but only for the better golfer. Bring 2 boxes of balls the first time you play this course or you may run out before you're finished with the back nine.
