This nine hole executive course offers a stiff challenge for any golfer. The fairways are relatively open, however, there are numerous trees on the course that add to the lush beauty of this course. Overall, the layout is hilly and the greens are well maintained. The signature hole is 2, a 313-yard, par 3, which features a rustic 500-foot bridge that must be crossed on the way to the green, which is fronted with rustic rock.
