Comment: This well-maintained course is excellent for those learning the
game of golf who are ready to tackle a full eighteen hole layout. The
signature hole is the #16, a 376-yard, par 5, which has a water hazard
in the middle of the fairway. Golfers either have to hit over it or in
front of it because a normal tee shot would be put in the water. The
fairway is narrow and leads to a medium-sized green.
