You simply cannot beat this course for the combination of quality, value, history and proximity. The front nine is Donald Ross course which while not overly long is a true test. Bring your "A" short game coz the greens are fast and small with many having a wonderful contours. You won't find any goofy holes either...no 280 yd dogleg right dumb holes. A great course for beginners too as there is only one hole with a water hazard that must be hit over. I like to walk this course and you will not be punished with 1/2 mile walks between every green-and-tee. Staff is friendly and you can get a hot dog and cold beverage for cheap.
