Completed in 1993 by PGA Professional Mark McCumber, this Par 72 championship golf course is walkable, scenic, and private. The golf course boasts immaculate contoured greens protected by ponds and strategically placed bunkers throughout its 7000+ yard routing. And although the course offers a variety of challenges, its layout welcomes golfers of every level.

Members enjoy the company of friends and family in the elegantly appointed lounge and dining room within the clubhouse. The patio is a great place to unwind post-round and watch the final golfers chase that evening sun up the 18th fairway.
