Classic Donald Ross

Great layout, but rough around the edges. Many bunkers were full of weeds and course needed to be watered, especially the greens. Play it before it ceases to exist.

Great day and course to play

The golf course, except for the un-maintained sand traps was in great shape. Tee to greens was very good. The rough was manageable. Overall we had a great time.

Value good. Greens not in good shape

Great old school layout. Difficult. Traps and greens need work. Nice snack/drink options before/after & at the turn.

Great course for the value

Overall great experience for our foursome. The pace was a little slow and the course is narrow. You have to be straight on with your drives.

Last chance

It’s a shame this Donald Ross design is in it’s last season. What an incredible layout, and a treat to all skill levels. I found the back nine to more enjoyable, but an overall great track! play it while you can, it closes permanently next snowfall.

Play it whilst you can

Love this course, forgiving but challenging at the same time. If you ever want to play the “5 Sisters” courses you’ll need this one done before the development takes away this great course!

A great course open to the public

We were members when it was a private club. Compared to those days the tee boxes aren't cared for anymore, some of which were a little rough. The fairways and greens are nice, but I wish they still had a bar. Other than that it's a very nice course that I'll play again and again.
