We drove 2 hours from Pa to play this course, because it was supposed to be a Top 100 Mid Atlantic Must Play Course. I was really looking forward to playing here; however, we were very disappointed by the course and the conditions. It is not a Must Play course. We were expecting a championship type course, but found it to be no better than average courses in our area. We used the Tee Times pass and paid $41 on a weekday, which was way too much and not worth the value.Greens were the worst we played this year, divot marks everywhere, big holes in the greens, looked to be from soil samples, and you could see about a month''s worth of previous day cup marks on every green.Fairways were better but a lot of divot marks and very tightly mowed. They were extremely wet, because they were watering the fairways during our round, which is not common where we play, and we were doused by water a few times.90 degree rules were in effect. On one hole a maintenance guy, probably the head, came by and yelled at us for having 1 tire off the cart path. Ludicrous considering the poor conditions.Course was not spectacular in design and was very short. Too many short Par 4''s at 300 or less yards, just not a typical championship type course which you would expect from a Must Play rated course. Looked like course was crammed into the property and there was not enough space. I do not recommend this course especially if you are out of the area.It''s not saying much if the golf carts are the only thing you liked about the course.

Greens are difficult and not flat. Fairways are in decent shape with greens being good too. Tee boxes are a little beat up, but overall a nice course for the money. Not a very difficult course, but some holes are challenging. For me it was a nice change of pace. Will definitely go back.

This course will not let you spray the ball. If you routinely go thirty or forty yards off the fairway, then this course will give you a high score. Its not long, so if you can stay straight, you can play well. The clubhouse and the course are very nice, and the price is certainly reasonable, but it isn't cheap.
