This eighteen hole course has a country-style ambiance. Rolling fairways leave few opportunities for a level lie, and with twelve lakes, water comes into play on more than half the holes. It can be said that this course has two distinctly different personalities. The front nine is fairly wide open and accommodating, while the back nine is surrounded by almond trees and plays much tighter. The signature hole is #3, a challenging 180-yard, par 3, which plays to a green riveted by deep sand bunkers. The course also features a lighted driving range, a 7,200-square-foot clubhouse, banquet facilities, and patio dining for up to eighty people.

 Strategic layout, great price, Apr 17, 2006

| Well-maintained, undulating, consistent, fast greens. Easy to loose balls to the water; I start with two sleeves and count myself lucky if I don't loose any. Risk and reward on many of the drives, good iron play is a must. My favorite is the 15th where a high spin fade that carries water and deep bunkers is neccessary to hold the green, but beware the water on the right. I recommend a 56 degree sand wedge for all the deep bunkers. The best practice facilities I've seen on comparable courses. Superior course to Willow's Run (Redmond, WA) as far as Links Courses go. Can you hit the Par 5 Island Green at 18 in two? |

Great course ... not maintained by the players, Jun 18, 2004

| The course is fun to play. Great holes which allows taking risky shots for a good reward or simply laying back. Greens are beautiful .. however, the clientele does not fix ball marks .. sometimes the greens are pretty chewed up with unrepaired ball marks. The traps are left un raked by the same players that don;t fix ball marks. Overall, goo course. |

Course management a plus, Jun 06, 2004

| Enough variety that you will use all the clubs in your bag. The greens are challenging but have a lot of ball marks that are not fixed. We play the course several times a year and seem to get the same older gentlemen, who has a sour personality, taking care of us in the pro-shop. We enjoy the island green on the 18th hole. It is worth playing. |
