Second time at thus course
Course was in good condition, greens were obviously watered frequently, tee boxes were very hard to get tees in, fairways were in good condition as well.4&1/2 hours for pace of play on a beautiful Sunday. Started on hole 10, and waited a few minutes at almost every tee, but managed to finish in 4&1/2 hours for 18 holes. Would recommend thus course.
