She ain't much to look at, but she's got it where it counts.  I've been playing this course for about ten years now and the fairways still look the same (they suck) and the greens are okay, but there are some challenging holes on this course.  It is an old school design in that it makes you shape most of your shots, lots of trees lining the fairways and driver really is not necessary. Signature holes are the par 3 9th and the par 4 17th.  Each of these will easily be the most memorable holes because of the distance and the small creek that will probably claim somebody's ball in your foursome.  The par 3 9th is 219 yards and requires a well struck club that most rarely hit (e.g., 2 or 3 iron, or fairway wood).  The par 4 17th is drivable at 266 yards, but the creek and thick ruff make it a real risk reward hole.  So if you go, have low expectations for the condition of the course, but you will surely enjoy the layout.

BTW - they recently replaced the greens, so they are half-way decent.
