NIce course

I liked the course the fairways was generous for the amateur player, The bunkers all was groomed and easy to play out of. The greens were slightly fast, I glad I practiced prior to playing to get a feel for them. I shot a 51 on the front and a 48 on the back. I was really having a nice back 9 and I took a 9 on 18. Two in the water. :( I played with a man named John who had played the course so he was helpful in some shot making decisions. I had 5 pars on the course so I was happy. When in the area I probably go back. thanks
