Comments: 2 distinct courses, the River Course is long and relatively flat with water on a number of holes. Relatively forgiving, this is a good course for the vacationer. The Highlands Course is a traditional mountain course with elevation changes, semi-blind shots, etc. You have to play it a time or two to understand where the ball needs to be placed to score well. Great value in a resort/vacation area.

Comments: Interesting 27 hole layout -- each 9 is unique and offers their own challenges. Currently the course is still suffering from the late cold snap and has had to make some adjustments that have adversely affected playability.

Comments: Incredible, well designed course with a challenging layout -- maybe somewhat tough for the beginning golfer. While still relatively new, this course is maturing into one of the mid-state's elite courses. Be sure and play if you get the opportunity.
