A fine, tight inland course which was originally laid out in 1890.  It is heavily wooded with tree-lined fairways and is more than capable of defending itself against longer hitters.  It is a course where both straight driving and attention to well-placed bunkers is essential.  Although it has few slopes and affords easy walking, it is still difficult to beat par.  The front nine has seven tight par 4s posing a significant threat to a good score.  The par 4 ninth at 469 yards is the longest and most intimidating of these holes.  The back nine with three par 3s, three par 4s and three par 5s presents a more varied challenge with the final three holes a real test for anyone with a good card in their hand.
