Awesome place

Love the course. Try it, you'll like it. There is some difficulty here. Gets easier as you go. Playing from the correct tee boxes, for your skill set is important here.

Brown's lake ⛳ June 17

The course was well maintained, friendly staff and a good value for the cost. The only thing I didn't care for was a fair number of the tee boxes and fairways are quite close. Can get a bit crowded.
