First, not Last Time

What a lovely course. Very interesting elevation changes and lies- even in yellow winter. Course was mostly empty and cart path only, which was fine. I mostly aimed to stay near cart paths.

Pin placement on some greens made me laugh and want to ask the groundskeeper who hurt them that morning lol. That was pretty fun to craft iron shots onto the greens.

Playing with boulders and waste areas was a bonus. Got a couple of member bounces off them that extended yardage on top of the added yardage I get when playing above 4000 ft elevation.

Course staff from check-in to the starter, Jack, were very friendly. Looking forward to seeing them at a later time when I’m back in town for work. Players on the course were also quite friendly and courteous to this single first-timer, allowing me to play through 3 consecutive groups. I ended up finishing 18 in less than 3 hours and still enjoyed the scenery and didn’t feel rushed.
