Warm

The course was in good shape bring that its been kind of hot a few days. There are some faurways starting to show signs of transitions struggle with the temperature but not bad. The one thing l will say is get your drinks when you can from cart girls because thd line to wait in snack shop is to long so be patient.

It dud cause an issue with our group and the group in front having to wait to tee off on number 10 because one of there guys was waiting fir his lunch and only one person making food and dealing with counter.

Nothing special

Lazy staff, not very friendly. Course is mostly flat. The front 9 was a little tougher than the back; or maybe I was just thirsty. No drink cart needed on a hot day apparently, go figure.

Not a bad track, but

Of the muni courses, I’d spring for Aguila as I feel it’s a better design and better conditions. That said, this was a great deal still, and an enjoyable round of golf. I was sent out as a single and got stuck behind two of the slowest and most clueless foursomes I’ve ever seen. Not the courses fault, but a bit of marshaling would have been helpful.

All in all a worthwhile round as I shot my lowest score of the season.

golf balls everywhere

I found that the course can be dangerous at most hole as ball just go flying ball in all direction.

At least there was ball cleaners and water access on site. The golf cart come with GPS which is very handy when you don't know the course.

The course had a great and friendly marshall.
