Always good

I have played here many times and am always impressed with course conditions. Greens had recently been verticut and topdressed so they were rolling great. Maybe a little thin but good speed.

I had a great time playing golf

It was a great outing. The pace was good. One piece of advice watch out for the crows. They will come to you unattended cart and fly away with your snacks.

Spring Golf

The course is in good shape. Medium speed greens. Fairways are nice. Not a lot of recent rain. The staff did help to circumvent the crowded first hole. They had a large group of 20+ golfers playing. Overall a beautiful day for golf.

Gamblers on course

Foursome in front of us were gambling, taking a long time on the green.

Some wanted flag in, some out, flag going in and out between puts.

A marshall came over to tell us not to drive behind the greens, we asked him if he could speed up the foursome in front of us, he looked in their direction then rode off.

I love this course with all the water foul. I love all the noise made by the birds. The staff is always nice. I come from Wisconsin generally this time of year so I always look forward to play here a couple of times when I am here.
