We love coming here and make a trip 3 1/2 hours to golf here! It’s pricey but worth it. Such a fun course and a little challenging too! The property is huge so driving the cart up and down the hills/terrain is the best part.
Loved the course. It is very challenging with many blind shots. Greens were in excellent shape, with several having large undulations. Wish there was a better clubhouse, but there was nothing wrong with the course.
Play here if you have any hesitation!
A few things though ….
Try to have a gps golf app - the back nine ZIG ZAGs with very little direction - sometimes you are driving down a dirt road for a quarter mile thinking, am I even on the golf course anymore? Lol.
And, assume you will hit good shots that still get lost. It really is an epic blind spot course, especially from the blues.

Great experience yesterday at The Chief! One of the most unique courses I’ve played. Every shot takes thought and precision. Challenging for sure, but why else do we play this game??
Great course. Played on a rainy day and can’t wait to give it a try on a clear day. LOTS of blind shots so I It defiantly helps to play with someone who knows the course. Long t-shots over steep drops and unplayable terrain. Bring your A game, course is very challenging but very enjoyable. Can’t wait to play again.
This is a goofy, but amazingly fun course. For some reason none of the GPS devices in our group worked but we managed. It's another long one, with several 150+ carries to the fairway and 400+ par 4s. I strongly recommend driving ahead to look at the hols if it's your first time, especially number one and two. Well maintained and in great condition the day were were there in July 2020. It's VERY long green to tee with the trails crossing over each other several times. They are using gas carts and no food or drinks were available (COVID). Great experience for $65 with a $22 replay.
This course is fun and as tough as you want it to be based on the tees you pick. Routing and elevation changes are interesting and beautifully done. Course in great shape
