    Summary:
    My home course for the last 20 years, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. Geoffrey Cornish layout goes through a number of elevation changes, with a couple of signature hole par 3s coming off the mountain, over water to well protected greens, with another mountain framing the holes in the distance. Long from the tips at 7,000+. Fairways generally lined with trees; traps are not of great consequence as they have drifted a little from greenside over the course's 45 years. A terrific course to play a few times a week.

    Customer Service:
    Food good and getting better all the time. All members wish practice range had grass tees, rather than mats, but tee gets lots of use and maintaining turf would be tough. One of best teaching professionals in the country, Ken Doyle, is especially great with juniors.

    Similar Courses Played:
    A few other Cornish courses in the area are similar, such as Ellington Ridge. The very close by Tower Ridge, another Cornish layout, runs along the side of a mountain and is a little too cute for most tastes.

    Summary:
    Very nice layout. Maintnence is in excellent condition as it should be for a private course. I am not a member or plan to be because of location but had the opportunity to play with a member. Great course, great facilities I would recommend playing if you have the opportunity.

    Customer Service:
    Catered to at all times, again that speaks to the private club atmosphere. Free range balls although I was disappointed with the driving mats no grass range.

    Similar Courses Played:
    Great locker room and good food in the club house. Well stocked pro shop. All in all a great place to join if you can get on the list.
