single
This us a good course, challenging, strategic, etc. Course was in good shape for end of summer. I played as a single so there are always challenges with pace. Good for practice in playing a couple of balls. Had hoped to be paired up didn't happen so only played 9 as it gets too frustrating waiting.

Slow Greens
If you like slow greens, open fairways and accessible approach shots, this course will give you a chance to shoot a better than average score.
The conditions were a little rough but reasonable for a public course.
$135 is very steep for this course.
