Fun local course

Course has been getting better every year. Not the value of a couple years ago but still not bad for the money.

Nice course for the money.

Nice greens, acceptable fairways. 5-7 sand traps under reconstruction and some sort underground upgrades on a couple of fairways. For $30 an enjoyable round.

Slow play kills

The pace of play was very slow. One group on the course held up the entire round. There was a Ranger on the course but he did not do anything to speed up play. There is no reason this course should have taken 5+ hours for around
