Great course for the money and awesome views.

First, on the golf side, this county course is not your mother's executive course.  From the white tees, it's 6434 yards, from the blue, 6794, and the red, 5954.  There are quite a few trees, so you have been warned if you have a hook or slice.  Also, given the length, don't try this course as a beginner's course -- you will have a miserable time.

On the weekend, it's $37 for 18 and $15 for a cart.  There are discounted green fees during the week, but since I work, I wouldn't know about that.

Second, the scenery.  It's in the middle of a county park and you get more than your typical ducks and squirrels.  There were wild turkeys near the tee box on 7, and yes, they look exactly like they do on the Wild Turkey label.  Also, there was a doe and a fawn that ran right across the fairway, bounded through the green side bunker, and kept going.  

There are crowds on the weekend, but it's definitely a good time.  I'm adding Ancil Hoffman into my rotation.
