Don’t get stuck behind leagues

Played a 2.5 hour front nine and a 3 hour back nine because of leagues. Try to avoid that

Ground under repair

There is a lot of ground under repair.

The greens were in good condition.

It was worth the $45

Good time at Sanctuary

Had a very good time playing with fellow golfers. Course provided some challenges, like hole #14 where there is water on the left and a tree line on the right.

Decent track, needs to have an on course ranger

The course is not bad. It's definitely overpriced for what it is though. Its ususally overbooked and pace is usually pretty slow. I've played there for 3 years now and I've never seen a ranger on the course and/or manage the pace of play. Costs should be cheaper for a city course, tee times need to spaced out appropriately and a ranger needs to manage pace of play. If they made those changes it would really improve things.
