Course too challenging for high handicapper

I have been going to this course off and on for the past decade. I still get frustrated with the wind and other elements around the course. The wild foxes stole my friend's lunch, the squirrels stole my lunch, and the Canadian geese were everywhere and pooped all over the course. It was cold, the wind was blowing, which affected the flight of the ball and also the role of the ball during putts. Furthermore, the penalty for missing the fairway was too great as the rough consisted of grass and weeds 2 feet high and more. The putting greens were inconsistent as the surfaces were decent on some greens, but patchy on other greens. This also affected the roll of the ball, which caused me to miss easy putts. Even without the wildlife and weather, the course is difficult for high handicappers. It will be a long time before I play this course again.

Moderately challenging

The course had a good layout. There were a couple of blind fairways that provided concern for the golfers in front and in back of us. The greens were slower than I anticipated, but it was a great day for golf, otherwise.
