Well maintained golf course
I very much anticipated playing this course and I wasn’t disappointed. Tee boxes, greens, and fairways were all top notch.
As an avid golf Senior I recommend that the course offer more weekly discounts for play for Seniors. I was only able to afford the Tee Off prepaid discount offer. Please consider more discounts.
