Glad to be able to play

Short review

Course made safe as possible. No sharing cart!!!

All carts clean after each round. No contact with staff.

Cups reduce to about 1-1/2 “ in depth. No water on course, so bring your own drink and food. Be nice to the cart girls

Now the course, great shape and will get better!

Very enjoyable round and will be back soon.

Great course, poor greens

This is a fantastic course that was ruined because the greens Had been punched and the ball bounces all over and off line.

I will be back, but maybe in a month.

Nice Course

Course is very enjoyable with a nice mix of friendly and challenging. Conditions for time of year were very solid with greens rolling well despite being punched. The varying undulations and layouts of the greens made for some difficult putting but added character. Only minor complaints would be the wet sand in most of the greenside bunkers. Would definitely come back.
