Greens better than Brandermill
Very wet conditions and the course played really well. The greens on the front were perfect and the back.a little beat up. Enjoyed the different tee boxes - I am a senior playing with long low handicap hitters and I was able to compete.

Great course...only one complaint. The bees
On one of the holes, there is an entire bees nest, on the side of the green. Not in a tree. Literally on a bunker and the green. Yes, there are signs that say "beware of the bees" but that's kind of hard to do if you hit your ball on top of their nest. These aren't honey bees or any bee that's super useful. They appear to be ground bees. Considering the price, it really makes no sense that they wouldn't just have the nest removed. Other than that one hole, it's a beautiful course and everything is great.
