The best course in town

Today my putter (my favorite prized putter fell off the cart due to user error, and the staff were all so helpful in helping to find it, and really saved the day for me. This is my favorite place to be where the people are so friendly, real golf heaven!

FIRST TIMMER

The course was in decent condition the greens were cut nice. The only problem I had was being there the first time was at most of the Tee's there was no signs indicating which tee we were hitting from or signs for us to use for the cart in which way to go for the next tee. That was my partner and I biggest complaint.

Love the course, but it got messy and ruined the day!

While I was playing at hole #4, the storm came inn and made it pretty much impossible to play. I had to get myself under a few big trees and had to end up by the restroom for cove up from the heavy poor of rain and hail :-/ I was absolutely soaked, but it cleared up a bit and we’re able to finish up….somehow!

A couple of pictures attached!

When I finished, I forgot my phone….so the staff member that was there ran after me to give me the phone and the phone holder :-)
