The grounds crew has been hard at it.

The last few times Iv been here the course has been getting better and better. The fairway’s have improved so much and the greens were very solid. Cheers to the guys out there making this little 9 hole so much fun to play.

I come to this course just to practice with my irons and work on my my short game

The course has improved since I first played it starting two years ago. I am able to play two balls per hole without holding anyone up that are following me on the course.

Fun and easy course to play for beginners and quick practice

The greens and layout are perfect if you want to get a quick 9 in. Spread out and nice to walk to get some mild exercise in.
