The greens are very slippery. When you ground your putter it just slips and makes it hard to line up those birdie putts. HELP

Great experience

Super friendly staff, from the bag drop off person, the clubhouse staff, the starter and finally the beverage cart girl, all very courteous and friendly.

The course was in great condition, manicured bunkers, lush fairways and quick greens. Perfect day
