Stay below the hole!

Played Sunday Oct. 21st at 1 PM after finding last minute tee time on Golfnow for 2 players. Great value for this unemployed first time user of site. One would think this would easily take 5 to 6 hours to complete but pace of play was great, finished in 4 1/2. Course is in great shape with premium on accuracy as the second cut of rough is super deep. Must keep ball in fairway ! Greens are rolling nice (folks should learn to fix ball marks) and super fast from anywhere above the hole. Be sure to get flag position for the day. All greens have some severe slope and undulation, important to be on correct level.
Overall great value, we will certainly be back soon.
