Windy weather

Very windy day

The wind definetly didn't help, but didn't especially enjoy the course. Back 9 is a bit more challenging than front. Tee off boxes are rounded not in best shape. Greens were pretty good, some with alot of break. Seemed like alot of short holes, around 85 yds, to start. Your short game better be good.

Excellent pitch and putt/short course

We played early in the morning and the conditions and the condition of the course were both perfect. For a beginner or someone who wants to work on their short game, it was excellent. greens held shots and were very smooth.
