Short but Fun Layout
The East is not the longest or most difficult but has a wide variety of holes. Conditions were very good and greens rolled true. I’ll be looking forward to returning.

Nice Alternative.....
.... for an average, intermediate golfer.
For beginners it will 'eat up' balls (thick rough, hazards & out of bounds).

Pace of play was horrible….1st group out was super slow … no rangers at all… turned into a 5 plus hour round as 3 rd group out of the day
Conditions were ok at best … would not recommend was not worth the 70$ they charge for a public county course
