Was a member at the club for about 5 years and still play there 10 times a year so will give you my opinions. Staff was always friendly with me and many of them are good looking girls. The new clubhouse is really nice and quite the improvement on the old one. Usually not to busy and easy to get tee times. When I was a member there were virtually no member events but in the last couple of years this as improved a little. I used to have the restricted membership and found it a good value. For me the problem with the course became the layout. I have played the course so many times(500+) and the layout is kind of boring. Holes 10-11-12 used to give me a hard time also, you would play a good front nine and blow up on those holes and that was the end of your good round. One thing about the course now is it is easier then the old days the blue tees used to be the white tees and fescue was literally everywhere. One last thing guys holes number 10-11-12 are now read staked so you can do point of entry in the old days you had to rehit from the tee( many times in the old days I would put 3 balls in the woods off the tee and that was my limit and have to put an X on my card) Anyways for me I would recommend it as a good value course if you do mind the layout.
