Arboretum

Course is a great track, but the sand traps have MUCH to be desired! Greens rolled great...

No sand in traps, just dirt... I would have given a 5 star if the traps had sand...too bad...

Very little yardage markers

Good course for the money. Bring a range finder! No 150 sticks and very little markers on fairways.
