What people discuss
Golf sentiment is positive overall, especially for the River and Woods courses. Golf Digest and independent trip reviews praise the River Course's James River finish, strategic variety and conditioning and often call the Woods course a fair, enjoyable challenge; the Plantation course receives more mixed feedback for character and conditioning, so the three-course experience is not viewed equally.
