Nice course
The course was very nice. They need a ranger to monitor pace of play. One slow foursome held up everyone behind them.

Fast Greens & Beating Drums
The greens at The Sanctuary are running fast which is good for the players looking for true reads, if the putt was missed it was by centimeters the rock rolls true at The Sanctuary.
Also for the first time in many rounds on No. 5 there was a beat of TomTom drums that sounded out of the woods after I made my putt.
Drum sounded until I started realizing what it was. Watch out for No.14 early in the morning that sun shines into your eyes from The Black Tee.

Good course
The course was wet due to overnight rain. The greens were therefore very slow.

Nice Municipal Course in South Subs
Honestly, can’t ask for too much more in a municipal course. It is well maintained with a nice layout. It lacks a signature hole, but it’s priced right and makes for an enjoyable round. We walked it as we were in Phase 1 with COVID restrictions and it was a nice break from the norm. Staff is friendly and keeps things well maintained. .
