Fantastic old school golf course

First off the folks in the pro shop couldn’t be friendlier, when I arrived that lady working behind the counter was super friendly then the head pro came up and introduced himself,

I was treated like an old friend and the pro asked if I had played there before (I hadn’t) and took the time to walk me through the course routing and areas to be concerned with on where to hit and where not to hit. I also received a brief history of the course which was very cool. The course opened almost 100 years ago during the Great Depression and not many golf courses opened during that time period. It opened as a private country club and is still being maintained as if it was one,

Fairly tight fairways but all of the tee boxes and greens were in FANTASTIC shape for January, while it is not a long course it provided a challenge and I think I hit every club in my bag at least once. To play course well you need to be able to work the ball both ways and understand where not to hit it to have a decent shot into the green.

Bunkers where all in good shape with plenty of sand,

There were maintenance guys out on the course keeping it clean but paid attention and stopped what they were doing to not distract you from you shot.

I played as a single and got around in about 2:20 minutes,

Will definitely play if I’m in area again.

Fun old school course, like getting throw back into time.

Definitely started my round off on the right foot

short is safe

Challenging old school layout (for an 18 hdcp). Small greens and tight fairways and don't overshoot the greens. In my favor was nice fluffy rough that's easy to hit out of compared to other rough of a similar depth. Convoluted layout, but fun holes. Bad shots punished. Good shots punished. Great shots rewarded. Greens were baked firm on my visit on not receptive, but it was during a heat wave. Would like to return when they're softer.

Great course and great weather

There was a threesome which accounts for $82.00 payment. 18 holes including cart. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in excellent condition. Greens firm and fast. Quite a few leaves in rough but only to be expected this time of year.
