Nice course

Speed of play was good didn’t have to wait in between holes very long. Maybe because it was about 110 degrees out there. I walked probably a lot easier walk under 100 degrees. But overall good experience. Very nice Neighborhood .

Solid round, good course

Enjoyed it for the most part. Cart girl wasn't exactly friendly or attentive - seemed like a college kid who was upset she had to work a holiday weekend. Otherwise, would be happy to return.
