Good price and nice staff but horrible course. Hit a great shot off the tee and your rewarded with your ball rolling off a cliff basically. Don't waste your time.

Nice review. I went ahead and added the rest of the missing data that I was able to find on their website

Welcome to 18 holes of golf on about 12 holes of real estate. Played in a Captains' Choice/Scramble there yesterday and it was likely one of the worst courses I've ever seen. Best part of the course was the greens - they were well-cared for and rolled true. But I've never seen a course with such poor use of the topography. 60' vertical "cliffs" from fairway to green. Two near impossible doglegs ... side-sloping fairways that couldn't hold a ball. Awful course.

Hole #
1. If you have mastered the driver then go at it. Anywhere center or left of the green is preferred. Green is true.
2. Looking at the green from the tee box you see a 60' high near-vertical wall of grass. You need to be just short of the creek off the tee, then go for the green. If you go over the green you're okay as well as to the right of it. Trouble lies to the left of the green with woods, # 3 tee and cart paths. Green is true.
3. Perfect little par 3. 170 yards or so, two little creeks bisecting the fairway aren't trouble at all.
4. When you're on the tee and you look straight you'll see a green (not what you're going for) that 's an extra green (for no apparent reason). It's a dog leg right. Hit to the level area past the creek and to the bottom of the hill. Try to get something middle or on the right side. The green is reachable. However, you need to stay to the right (no trouble), to the left you'll find a horrible slope and a sand trap.
5. Green is located off a hard dogleg left and unreachable from the tee without a duck-hooked tee shot. Hit it straight just to the right of the fairway bunker. Green is a mother, long and slender. You're okay to overshoot the green no real trouble behind the green. Mastering the wedge is essential for the next shot to get it on the green and stop it without it running off the green.
6. Let it fly. You can get out your aggressions on this drive. Small dip in front of the green that makes an ideal wedge shot to the green.
7. Depending on where the tees are, go for the nice flat landing area just past the creek and before the sheds. Green is flat.
8. Time to get a hole in one.
9. Another Holy Crap from the tee. Try to drive straight so you end up just past the mountain, er, ridge you'll see from the tee. After the ridge it continues down and then up severely to the green. Good Lord I've never seen a green sit this far above the fairway. Ridiculous. No trouble overshooting the green but the green is a mother hummer!!!!! Be careful it will eat your lunch depending on the pin.
10. Prettiest hole on the course. Just go for it.
11. Another holy crap hole. Aim to the left and let the ball filter down, the fairway can't hold it anyhow. You could hit to the right of the creek where there's a landing area but you only increase your distance to the green as the green sits another 40' above.
12. Try for straight (sounds easy, right?). Lots of undulation in the green. Don't be long on this one.
13. The crappiest non-golf hole on the planet. Horrible hole!!! 220 to the top of a hill off the tee, with the topography it probably plays 250. Try to hit to the left (toward the cart shed) just past the ridge. Fairway slopes greatly to the right. Used to have railroad cross ties that lined the right side to keep balls from rolling off the face of the Earth. After the tee shot you'll still have 250+ to the green, which sits at the end of another ungodly dogleg left.
14. Straight on and easy hole to get an ace. No trouble here. Think it played as an 88-yard (yes Virginia, eighty-eight yards) Par 3.
15. Looking down the fairway aim to the right of the green that you see. Stay out of the woods. If you're confident from the tee with your drive, aim to the right corner of those trees and you'll be in perfect shape for your approach shot into the green.
16. Interesting hole if you go long try not too hard. Death if you miss it right. Probably the smallest green on the course.
17. Hit your tee shot to the base of the hill and then you can sail it to the green easily.
18. Hit to the up slope and then fire your second shot anywhere in the direction of the green. No trouble, but very steep. Probably a nice finishing hole when you're drinking a cold one out on the clubhouse porch but it's a bear from the fairway.

Rest your legs ...
