Fun, simple course

Always have a good time at Rec 9. Not that difficult but it's a fun course and I've met a lot of great people.

Good for beginner to intermediate

Decent course conditions, greens played faster than expected with the rain we got recently, but were in good condition, with the exception of the 8th green.

Fun Course

Tee time was 8:22 am. All went well. There was a PGA youth group that was teeing off after us, so that eliminated the possibility of getting a replay. I failed to notice when I booked on Golf Now, that there was a three or four hour tee time gap after 8:22 am. That is not a complaint. the glitch in booking was on me. I play this course mostly during the week. The course is in good shape and the staff and golfers are very friendly.

Quick 9-Hole

Good pace. Took 1.5-2 hours taking my time. Course was decent. Easy to replay. Nice afternoon 9-hole. Nothing fancy.

Later sunset

This is a par 31 course with 4 par 4 holes and the rest are par 3. Hence, there will be beginners here. There are more experienced golfers that play here too though. The pace is a little slow at the start, but after the 3rd or 4th hole it gets moving just based on how the holes are laid out.

Excellent execudive course.

Have played Rec 18 several times... first time on Rec 9. My game was off, but the course was in excellent shape. The greens were smooth and the puts were rolling true. This course demands a lot of different shots and the rough can be spongy so fat shots were punished. The length of the holes is nice for golfers who have trouble driving over 200 yards. You can really work on short approach shots from various lies on this course.
