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.
