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.
