Comments: Not too demanding but design always presents different challenges. .. Tough opening two holes, the 200-yard par-31st is followed by an equally demanding par-4 2nd. .. Flattering, provided you can keep the ball straight. .. Short 16th is the best hole on the course. . . Very attractive setting and friendly staff.
