Under the radar
I had a great day on this executive course. It’s supposed to be easier but you still have to execute on every shot but a shorter round as far as time goes makes it even nicer and convenient to get that golfing bug out of your system until you have the time and money to spend on a regulation round.

Difficulty Extremely Challenging
Fun course layout but slow and poor conditions
This course was enjoyable to play, but it was let down by the slow pace and poor conditions. The 6-minute tee time intervals resulted in a 5-hour round, which is significantly longer than the expected 3.5-hour time. Additionally, the tee boxes were in poor shape, and there were no signs marking each hole, which was confusing for a first-time player. Despite the fun and challenging layout, the other factors dampened my overall experience.
