Playing the course

Golfer Guide

Know the booking window before you plan the round

Public resort golf. Public 7 days; JC Players 8 days. Singles are accepted on an availability-dependent basis; current Welk guidance says single bookings should call the golf shop.

Current conditions can materially change the value

Most recent detailed Aug. 2025 report found smooth, medium-speed playable greens with meaningful slope; fresh 2026 direct green-condition evidence is limited. Most recent detailed report found very good fairway coverage and adequate bunkers; fresh 2026 fairway/bunker condition verification is still recommended.

Who this course is best for

The shorter format is the point

Compact 3,940-yard executive routing with eight short par 4s and ten varied par 3s, meaningful elevation change, trees, bunkers and water; no par 5s. Easy-moderate for experienced players; moderate for mid/high handicaps. Accuracy, elevation, green slope, boundaries and water make it play harder than the yardage suggests.

Walking the course

Walkability depends on the terrain

Good / moderately demanding. Walking allowed; power carts available. Course is moderately demanding to walk because of rolling terrain/elevation. Exact cart inclusion/fee remains gated. Compact 3,940-yard executive routing with eight short par 4s and ten varied par 3s, meaningful elevation change, trees, bunkers and water; no par 5s.
