First Time Playing

Great course, just missing a range….

This course was great as a first time coming here, I was very surprise with how it played out. They do not have a range area, but it would be great if they had like an iron only or even net set ups with nets. They have a nice putting and chipping area to practice that was very well taken care of. Tee boxes were in great conditions, fairways I would say 14/15 of them were excellent some of them have areas that you can tell are being worked on.

Greens were great only 1 I saw was being worked on I believe it was hole 10 had some sand down but didn’t affect the putt. Only complain I have was the pin placements were insane in some of them, they had a few that were on the verge of a downhill or edge of greens.

Other than that (which is not insanely crazy) this place is great and we’ll be coming back to play for sure!
