Enjoyable Muni

I arrived late for my tee time due to some unforeseen circumstances. The staff were very understanding and accommodating. Lucky for me there was enough open time for me to still get out and play. The course was in good condition despite less than ideal weather so far this year. Greens were on the slow side but rolled true.

Outrageous Price

Course is overbooked, layout is cramped, and weekend pricing in April for 18 holes is INSANELY HORRIBLE VALUE. $75 for this LANDFILL
