Being from Canda the cost is 30% more

When I look at the tee sheet it’s always wide open and yet there is no reduction in price I would think you could fill the tee sheet if you reduced the price

Average course

PD CC has a decent layout and the sand bunkers were in pretty good shape.

The greens were very nice. Fairways were not in the best of shape but OK for me.

The course is not as challenging as our home course in Illinois. Maybe overpriced for the less than scenic views.

I wouldn’t

The tee boxes an fairways are rough and in kept. Staff couldn’t care less that you are there. Got stuck behind a group of six. After three holes they let us play through then hit into us. Got to the back 9 and got stuck behind a group of 9. That’s right, 9. They wouldn’t let us play through. Pay a couple of more dollars and play a golf course that’s worth playing.
