FALL BALL
Before the leaves all start to fall get out to play the Black. I have played the Red over the last month and it is not in good shape, but the black is in great shape. Maybe because of leas people playing I don't know for sure but if you wat a nice round go out and play this course. note; hole 14 is closed till next may for reconstruction, they did a really nice job but it takes time to set

A day on the Black
I have played this course many times over the years, the biggest negative is they don't press the greens so putting is very slow, and the tee boxes are almost always in bad condition mainly due to not watering and over seeding them. if they ever took care of this course they would have a gem
