Nice course with great potential

No parallel fairways so chances of getting hit with a ball from another fairway is zero.

With some improvements, this course has the potential to be a top notch place to play.

I would recommend work and improvements be centered on the following:

1. The tee boxes need to be leveled on many of the holes, but there are a few that have been improved such as hole number six.

2. The grass on the fairways is quite sparce, but it is winter and they may improve during the warmer months

3. The sand bunkers are better, but could use more sand.

4. The carts do not have roofs nor windshields. Thus in warm weather players will get more exposure to the sun and in colder days, the carts without a windshield cannot provide any shielding from the cold air as you move forward
