Cool weekend
Started the round cool and rainy. This course drains very well after a hard rain. We were still able use the 90 degree rule. I enjoy the layout of the course, greens were recently sanded though. It made it rough for putting, still highly recommend this course especially using the Golf Now app for Hot Deal tee times.

Excellent challenging course.
The course was in amazing shape. This layout is challenging but playable even for my high handicap. The driving range was in amazing shape and hitting off grass is always nice.

Kansas couple
The staff was very helpful and friendly. Greens were very nice, difficult to read and very fast. Need to pay attention to the GPS for the ditches that cross many of the fairways, but can’t be seen from where you are hitting.
