What people discuss
Golf Digest reviews are mixed-to-positive: panelists recognize distinctive Pete Dye features and a friendly private-club setting, but some consider the routing less memorable than Dye's best work. Broader public reviews praise the property, staff and food, so the strongest criticism is aimed at golf architecture rather than hospitality.
This is what people commonly say about this Club in public reviews and articles, not a member survey or a rating from us. Weigh it alongside the facts above, not in place of them.
