Other comments:  This course if fairly flat with wide fairways and large greens.  The course is nestled amoung rolling hills and has fully developed, mature trees, and plays host to a number of wildlife including turkeys, deer, and cottontails.
For the beginning golfer:  You'll put all your clubs to the test on this course.  You will get the total experience of golf as you'll have long, wide fairways ahead of you, bunkers to avoid, and water to keep out of.  If you can hit a ball with some length, this course will be fun and challenging.

   Excellent Italian foods.  Spinach salad with pears, apples, glazed pecans & gorgonzola cheese was accented by a nicely balanced balsamic vinegrette dressing.  Lasagna Napolitana is homemade pasta sheets with a meat filling and tomato/cream sauce.  Risotto with shrimps and crab in a tomato/cream sauce was very good.  The tiramisu is homemade and is moist, light, and luscious.  Make reservations.
