Ben Brown's is a fun 9 hole track
Saw a bobcat. Course was packed but other than that outstanding hidden gem of a 9 hole course.

Great morning
Great nine holes to stretch the legs. Looked really backed up as we finished but if you want to walk nine holes, you can’t beat this place.

Beautiful, fun course
Best 9 hole around. Course is in fantastic condition. Pace of play is pretty slow, and because it’s in a valley and most deals are around sunset, it’s probable that you won’t play the last hole or two. If you can get on early, it’s well worth it. Relaxing but challenging course. Will be back.
