I Recommend This Course
Could have been better!
Fairways, tees and greens in good shape. Course was challenging for this old guy. They wouldn't let me have my own cart, but assured me when I asked that everything was safe. I am not sure how they know that. So I rode around on a cart with a stranger. Certainly not social distancing. I guess I should have gone home if I was really concerned but the round was prepaid and I didn't expect that uncaring response at a city golf course. For shame. So as enjoyable as the golf was, I'll likely not go back.
