Need more push carts

No push carts available when we arrived at 12:40 pm would have rather walked than ride.

Nice 9 hole course

Course as well kept, found some of the newer people that have been just tired or not as customer oriented as the old crew. Very few amenities in the general area of the course. Period.

Good course good greens

Good well maintained course and greens. Good people working and good people to play with I was solo so it worked out when I was teamed with a single and two some. There five people playing in front of us. Better to no more than teams of four playing so it does not create back up.

Pleasantly surprised

I didn’t know what to expect. Going to a public nine hall that could be beat up by so many players, but the chorus conditions were pristine. The people were very nice and to have two driving ranges one grass and one on the mats was impressive. I will definitely go there again. Soon.
