They recently replaced their greens and they roll like it. A fair amount of tiered greens. They rolled fast as new Bermuda does. They’re also new, so they’re still quite firm and will be for a little while. I’d consider it a plus since they roll predictably and true. Though, you need to have good speed control. I did not for most of the day. I forgot they had just replaced them during the summer otherwise I would have made EXTRA sure to remember that. :)

The course itself is very scenic, was well kept and showed that the grounds/greens keepers are doing their jobs well. It’s a reasonably challenging course from the back. I felt the front 9 was fairly straight forward.

#10 is definitely narrow and requires a well placed drive. #14 gives you an option to avoid hitting directly over the water on the forward tees, but if you’re playing White or Gold, you’re going directly over the water most of the way. To play the green reliably on #17 you’ll want to be past the sand on the left. Do that and the 2nd shot becomes reachable. Though, if you want a closer shot, there’s plenty of room for a layup down the fairway.

#18 is most difficult at approach with the water protecting the front of the green. Sadly, I was hitting into the sun and it threw me off and I hooked it a bit… Into the water. Oops. :)

Anyway, I was happy with the course and will play it again. Definitely was one of the better stops recently. Online Tee Times are bookable now, too.
