Haven't played here for years

Course is in good shape. Greens are a bit slow for me. And lots of gnats.

First 18 holes played as a beginner

We played this course and enjoyed a great day of golf. Considering all the rain the past 9 days the course was in very good condition - it is already a well maintained course with challenging holes. We haven’t experienced many courses per se, we loved this course the best thus far in our golf journey..

1st Impressions

1st Impression is overall good👍.

Couple notables.

Driving range - working off mat bad during dry conditions.

Practice Putting surface flat no imagination- I get okay

Snack bar a best average- typical public course snack bar, grab n go- check in person serve at grab n go. I guess this one way to save money.

Fairways decent but greens were aireated The overall impression is good. However, there are a few notable points to consider.

Firstly, the driving range is working well, but it’s important to note that the mat is not working properly during dry conditions.

Secondly, the practice putting surface is flat and lacks imagination. I managed to get an okay score on it.

Thirdly, the snack bar is a good average. It’s typical of a public course snack bar, with grab-and-go options. The staff at the snack bar check in and serve food at the grab-and-go counter. I suppose this is one way to save money.

Fourthly, the fairways are decent, but the greens are aerated which made it difficult to putt, so I chalked it up as a day of practice on the short game and scoring hits on GIR(Greens in Regulation)

Last but not least no Fans on the greens to blow or stir air minmize the flying insects on the greens.

I’ll return once greens are better. Overall the course was ok!
