I Recommend This Course
Very Exclusive
This club is so exclusive, you may not be able to review it.
Being and exclusive club, pace of play and amenities are not part of the discussion.
The only are that can be commented on is
Course Layout.
Given there is only 1 set of tees here, like it or lump it.
There are no short holes here. Bring your long game.
Thanks to the staff for allowing me a peek at this fine course.
