Love to come for a quick 9…

But sometimes it’s super slow. Recently it was ridiculously slow, but a nice morning regardless. The lady starter was pretty salty because I tried to be pleasant, but I just kept my assumptions aside and remembered I wake up on the wrong side sometimes.

Even with the salted attitude from staff and a super slow 9 holes, I was glad I played that morning, and will be back.

You get what you pay for, and maybe a little bit more

Love the course. Usually it’s a smooth play. This morning was kinda ridiculous with the pace, but worth it with the elders I was paired with. Fun round with them. Pace got so slow, half my group had to leave.

All good! Could’ve had a great morning regardless, except the starter lady.. don’t know why she had such an attitude. All good though, we all have our moments

What happened?

Last time I played here 2 or 3 greens were being redone. Those greens were on less than great condition as were most of the other greens. Most looked like the surface of the moon.

Fun course!

Had a good time playing. That did just aerate the greens so they were a little sandy/bumpy but it was still a good play. Will be back to play again!
