No food available after 4:30 PM☹️

Even though the pro shop was open there was nothing available to eat or drink after 4:30 PM yesterday. Seems unreasonable to me that the golf course can’t even offer a candy bar or a bottle of water to a hungry customer.

☹️

The course is not in good condition. They need to water more and reseed the fairways. It is like hitting on hard pan in the middle of the fairways.

Fix the tee boxes

The course conditions were fine, but they really need to fix the tee boxes. They were horrendous.

Solid round

7AM tee time on weekday. Paired with Steve, who was great company. Group ahead of us was nowhere to be seen, and no-one behind us, so zero pace of play issues. Staff were very nice and helpful. Tee boxes a little beaten up, and clearly not everyone repairs divots, but not unusual for public course. Will be back.
