Good day

I was a single paired with a threesome. Nice people to play with. Snow birds from the north east

Course was fun and fairly easy to play.

First Time Playing

Underwhelming.

First time here in many years. Disappointed. Tees are generally in bad shape. Fairways about the same and approaches to greens even worse. Greens are quite good. Only particular plus is reasonably priced versus Ft.Lauderdale market.

Chipping is a disaster

Found the greens to be in decent to good condition. Though, around the greens are a disaster. Mostly hard or very sandy. To the point I did not use wedges to chip onto the green and putted instead.
