Limited balls needed
Very good course to bring friends to and enjoy the game of golf. I've played this course many times with the Same ball it's hard to loose a ball here not much OB. But that's not saying there isn't a chance to find balls tucked in the tree line

Pace of play!
Why have a marshal if they’re not going to enforce pace of place and grouping. We ran into a slow playing twosome that ending up joining with a slower playing threesome. Extremely hard to enjoy the course when constantly waiting at the tee box for 10 or more minutes. 18 holes took us 4hours 40 mins. I enjoyed the course itself, felt the green were over watered and extremely slow. It’s hard enough to get out and play as a dad. But when you tell the wife 4 hours max and you have to deal with slow play it makes it impossible to keep your word.

Great for Beginners
Great course to learn on and really work on your game. A low course Par course no water hazards and for $25/18 holes and a cart you can not beat that for the course conditions
