What is the course like?:
The course was built in 1966. The original course is the back nine holes. The front nine was added later to make the existing eighteen hole layout. Because the two nines were built at different times, the greens on the front nine are smaller than the greens on the back. The course is predominantly flat, but there are some hills that can cause uneven lies. There are two ponds that come into play on four holes, and other water hazards affect holes #14 and #16. Greenside sand bunkers have been added to fourteen of the eighteen holes, many of which are difficult to get out of. The course includes waterhazards. And has 1-10 sandbunkers.

The course opened in 1959. This course features large, undulating greens and water hazards coming into play on eleven holes. In addition, mounds line both sides of some fairways, and numerous sand bunkers have been positioned on the fairways and around the greens. The signature hole is #18, a 398-yard, par 4, which is highlighted by a water hazard on the right of the fairway. The tee shot must avoid the water hazard looming on the right side of the fairway and the approach must carry over a lake to the green.

Furthermore, additional course improvements were made in 1996, including a new 15,000 square foot clubhouse. The new clubhouse amenities include full locker room facilities, a pro shop, a dining room and bar, and a 3,000 square foot banquet room overlooking the course.
