About the course

Phenomenal property! beautiful clubhouse. We played the dye course. The back nine was fantastic. what a great stretch of holes! terrific experience! can't wait to get back and play the Nichlaus course

Outstanding golf courses, both challenging in different ways and in excellent condition. Nick was a bit easier to score on than Dye (self professed not a Dye design fan due to his fussiness with traps that are unnecessary and not in play). Views abound! Finish

Beautiful day on the Nicklas course. The condition of the course is immaculate. The greens are quick and smooth. The membership really takes care of the course, no ball marks on the greens, pivots all sanded in, bunkers all raked appropriately. Quite an enjoya
