Course Reviews	15 years between playing this course meant I was excited to see how it had developed over time. I was not disappointed. The course is in immaculate condition and the greens are superb, fast and true. The facilities have improved since I last visited with a sizeable pro-shop and a well appointed clubhouse. The course has been lengthened and is a fine test of golf with some long, some short par 4s that make you think about your choice of shot more than usual. One criticism is the lack of warning of the two hidden bunkers on the 18th hole that sit right in the middle of the fairway! Visitors have no way of knowing they are there and a straight drive will be gobbled up to your great disgust. This minor quibble aside, this course is well worth the visit.
