Exercise

The course is a decent challenge with various dog legs. The bunkers were under construction and there was a 90-degree rule. The greens were in great shape.

Excellent shape!

This course is in really good shape ! Weather helps but the ground crew is doing the right thing! Fairways are even and green, greens are smooth and cut perfect! Cons: lack of porta-potties, and no beverage cart?

Food offerings may be limited to a few snacks (no dogs or brats on a Sunday afternoon? ) and no bar service?

However... the golf was great!
