Best Course In The Area!

This course is fantastic! Great course layout! The grounds crew has the course looking perfect. Not sure why big golf events haven’t happened there yet.

Great golf club!

It took 5 hrs to finish on Monday morning. Bittersweet is a wonderful golf course, but we always meet players playing so slow. A group in front of us had 3 players when we had 4 players. But we had to wait, and 2some behind us yelled at us to move.
