Designed by Roger B. Packard. Can play very long, especially if it's wet, but there's three shorter sets of tee boxes. The course has it all, water, well bunkered, good sized and quick greens, and is challenging, but fair, and not tricked up at all.

The greens are huge,sloped and very fast,which is not always true in public golf courses, plus it's a bargain to play here.
