Nice golf course, still a bit wet

Still quite wet this time of the year with winter tees and quite a few temporary greens. Nevertheless still very much enjoyed the round. It's a beautiful, somewhat challenging course. Will definitely play again later in the year.

Great testing course.

I'm a pretty terrible golfer, play off 28 stable Ford, played here first and second time Friday and Sunday. Friday went very well. Sunday didn't. Only due to my ability. Course is well maintained, fairways very tidy and greens well manicured. A few tight tree lined fairways so reign in the distance and go for accuracy and you'll have a great time on here.
