great job with the leaves!
after getting hammered during the week with high winds I was worried about the amount of leaves that would be on the ground after only having 1 day to clear them off, especially with them being wet from prior rain. Great job! Now if you could have actual sand in the bunkers instead of concrete I'd give a 5 star. But typical for a muni.

Great value good pace of play
One if the best muni's I've played. Course condition were very good, pace of play for foursome was 3 hrs and 45 minutes, with some beginning golfers in group. Had very few holes we had ro wait. Good food options at the turn for a quick bite. Will play again on our annual trip to Michigan.
