This course has beautiful mountain range vistas and is on a working farm with all sorts of fruit available and a gift shop with drinks, snacks, fruit and other items. Most of the holes are fairly straight forward and open. There are a few holes that get into some trees and a small lake that comes into play on 12 to add some interesting elements, but the listed par of 62 should really be more like 55. There's probably only one true par 4 (the only par 5) and everything else should be par 3s. Despite the course being open and lacking a little variety it was a lot of fun to play and, as mentioned, provided beautiful scenery. The main dislike I have about this course is the fact that there are no tee pads or tee signs. The scorecard had the distances, which seemed relatively accurate, and a map on the back that helped, but it was really difficult to wander around to find the white board on the ground that you were supposed to tee off from in the ankle deep grass. It got a little easier after you make the trek to 9 and there were a few signs at that point that pointed you in the right direction on a few holes, but far too much time was wasted wandering around the field trying to find the tee area. Some sort of better tee pad with a small post or sign marking it could've easily bumped this course up in the B to B+ range for me. I recommend the course if you're nearby, but be prepared to search your way around the course for the tees.
