Beautiful greens

This course was challenging and satisfying, if that’s at all possible when playing golf. The putting areas were well maintained and colorful. The best part was the nature. Definitely enjoyed the wild life while maintaining the appropriate distance. Saw ducks, Sandhill cranes, alligators and many others.
