Nice Layout

I played the course on a wet day and there were very few people on the course. The greens were quite slow and there was a bit of excess water on the course. Due to additional rainfall, the course was closed and my round was cut short, so I only played the front However, I thought the course was well maintained and pretty challenging. I hope to play the full course at some point in the future.
