I played the course with the Ladies group in a shotgun of 160 players! It is called the Holiday on the Hill event that they have every year to raise money for their charities that support young girl/woman players.

Pace of Play: I did not really want to put that it took 5 1/2 hours to play, but well it did and with 160 players it is to be expected. I felt the play moved along fairly well all things considered.

Food: They had a fantastic luncheon with gourmet food and a variety of items. Also, they were very organized about it by putting the food spread out around the room and that way there was not a line. Kudos to the chef at IH. We gave him a big round of applause.

Customer Service: They are always nice there and organized. They pulled off the tournament without a hitch.

Weather: We had a very beautiful day! Cold at first in the morning, but then it warmed up.

Greens: Were in great shape. There was a little discoloration on some greens, but they were still smooth. No complaints here.

Fairways: Perfect. Just the right amount of grass for your 3 or 5 wood!

Bunkers: Nice. Yes I said nice. I was in a few of them. There are a lot of bunkers on the course. You are surely going to find at least one of them. The sand was white, not too fluffy or too grainy.

Rough: Thick and lush, but you could find your ball and get it out. Early in the morning there were a couple of places that had excessive water (wet mushy areas). Just a couple of areas.

Overall: I really wanted to give them a perfect score, but no course is that perfect. To me it was a perfect golf day. Our team won low net, we had fun, ate great food, and enjoyed a beautiful challenging course with perfect weather. That's a perfect golf day.

I want to go back and play again soon.

Played Wednesday morning on 11/23, the day before Thanksgiving. I play with the ladies group on Wednesdays about 1-2 times a month.

The course is kept in good shape for a muni course:

Greens: I found that 2 of the greens still showed some lumpiness from last months maintenance work. It was visual and did not affect the roll of the ball.

Rough: The rough was cut down to about 2 inches which makes the rough easy to get of. 2-3 inches is typical.

Fairways: The fairways are NOT lush country club fairways. They are not cut thin. They have enough grass to be very playable. There are some places where people have not repaired thier divots.

Sand: The sand is light brown so you might think that it is just dirt, but really there is sand.

Tee boxes: One thing that surprised me was that some of the ladies tee boxes were not mowed. Not sure why. Maybe on purpose to help restore them? Or, they just did not get to them yet. Wednesday mornings we usually play with the maintenance crew doing their work around us. I did not see them. Maybe they had the day off before Thanksgiving.

Challenge: It does have a few challenging holes like the redesigned hole #15 par 5. It gets me every time. I am lucky if I finish it with an 8. Some days I feel like John Daly posting a big number ;-) . First you have to hit over a creek and not too left or you will be in the very tall thick grass. If you get in there, good luck finding your ball. It's about 150 from the ladies tees to carry the creek depending where you cross it. For the long hitters off the tee you can carry the creek easily, but then end up in the lake on the other side. The second shot you either go for it over the lake or play it safe out straight or to the left fairway bunker. Make sure you are short of the bunker, but long enough to get over the water. The third shot in to the green should be a short iron or wedge to the green. Don't think about the lake on the right, just focus on the green. Once you are at the green you can breath easier and do a two putt. Or, one putt if you stuck it close to the pin.

Overall: All in all I like playing this course because it is reasonably priced, the staff is great, the course is kept in good shape, and the course is playable for all levels.
All in all a good course to play. Also, I like having the standing tee time with the ladies on Wednesdays. These ladies are very friendly and not overly competitive. It's a friendly round for all.

Played with AddictedtuGolf and JohnnyGK on 11/10. This course is a must play. The views are fantabulous! Every hole is worth taking a picture on, so don't forget your camera.

Besides the views, what I really like about this course is that there are 5 different tee boxes for all levels of players. All levels of players will be challenged and yet rewarded for good play. I am having some back and hip problems these days so I play with pain. I should play off of the Ladies Signature tees, 5,064 yards, but with my back/hip problem I chose the Ladies Classic tees, 4,101 yards. This reduced the distance and some carries. I still was challenged and rewarded for good play. I play golf to have fun. So this made the golf experience much more fun.

If you like flat, traditional, straight forward golf courses, then you will not like this course. But, if you like beautiful views and interesting hole layouts this is the course for you. I play with a lot of ladies and they enjoy views, short holes with interesting hole layouts. Longer hitters should choose the Ladies Signature tees.

For some reason I kept getting in to the sand! I am not usually in this much sand. I can say that I experienced the various types of sand bunkers at this course. I am pleased that I got out of every bunker except 1 in 1 stroke. One of the holes it took me 2 strokes, but that was because I did not follow through. Basically there were 3 different consistencies of sand depending on the hole. Some bunkers had fresh white course sand. Others had good sand, but not so white. There were a few bunkers that had rocks/pebbles in them which are coming up from the bottom of the bunker. I know it's not legal, but I borrowed my husband's "rock wedge" on one of the holes so I would not mess up my wedge. The course is in the process of replacing all of the sand in the bunkers over the next few years. I would still play this course during the bunker renovation period.

Practice tee/range: There is a small practice area (part of the green fee). For the long hitters you can only hit irons. I am not a long hitter, so I was able to even hit my driver. Not sure of the actual yardage, but I believe the longest part of the range is a little over 200 yards. I suggest that you practice the day before and/or at a nearby golf course. The closest golf course with a range is the Oasis Golf Club.

Practice green, chipping and bunker areas: There's a practice bunker, chipping area and putting green near the range. Also, there's another practice putting green near hole #1. The practice green near hole #1 seemed true to the greens on the course. I putted well (thank goodness) since the greens were fast and had nuances to challenge your read.

The customer service, food, and facilities are excellent. Food --- yummy. My husband and I eat here even when we don't play the course. My favorite is the filet mignon, but they also have good lunches and appetizers as well.

I play this course any time I get the chance even in the middle of the summer.
