Course research
Historically the strongest surface relative to the rest of the property; June/Oct 2025 evidence is not fresh enough to state current 2026 quality. Latest detailed available 2025 reports describe severe fairway and bunker problems; current 2026 condition is unverified. Bunker count is approximately 45–60 pending confirmation.
No full driving range; putting green and chipping/sand practice supported by current secondary listings; teaching pro reported, lesson details unverified. Gopher Hole remains referenced at the property, but current golf-day food/beverage availability and hours require verification.
Traditional valley/parkland routing through mature oaks and sycamores, Moosa Creek, ponds, rolling terrain, elevation changes and tight back-nine corridors. Moderate from middle tees; moderate-hard from the back, with water/trees and the 10–12 survival stretch creating blow-up risk.
Fast / low-traffic advantage in recent evidence; no formal typical round time is published.
