Great, as always.
Every time we play, residents are working on the course. Beautiful layout, great staff, great restaurant. It’s in my group’s regular rotation. It was our new fourth’s first time. He used the on-course restroom and came back astonished. “That’s the cleanest bathroom I have ever seen on a golf course.” He’s been playing for 40+ years. Lol

Tee to Green needs work
Greens are in great shape but fairways are very rough through the whole course. Would like to see the bigger clubhouse get utilized to its full potential
