Short but a great game tune up

An 18 hole Exec course. Played in 3 hours. Longest hole was 179 yards but got to use a variety of clubs. I feel a much better use of time than a driving range (even tho no driver or fairway woods needed. Great conditions and some tricks in the greens.

If the guy in the pro shop is a Scottish fellow he will make your day.

Windy Day On The Course

This course is a very nice par 3. However on the day we played it was very windy (50 mph). Just bad luck four us, but I would play this course again.
