This 18 hole championship course is situated on 200 acres of rolling terrain. Built in 1997 by the renowned Pete Dye, it has already been the host of various professional and amateur events. Lush Bermuda/Bluegrass fairways sweep through natural contours and elevations producing many breathtaking sights. Mr. Dye has strategically placed over 40 bunkers around the fairways and greens.
