Good Fun

We arrived with rain looming but went out anyways. By the turn, the rain let up and we were able to finish a fun round with friends. Very friendly staff. Will be coming back

Excellent shape!

This course is in really good shape ! Weather helps but the ground crew is doing the right thing! Fairways are even and green, greens are smooth and cut perfect! Cons: lack of porta-potties, and no beverage cart?
Food offerings may be limited to a few snacks (no dogs or brats on a Sunday afternoon? ) and no bar service?
However... the golf was great!

Unexpected finish

Well, we teed off on the 1st hole and got to the approach shot when I received a call from my wife. She knew me and my middle boy were golfing this day so I knew something was wrong. She had been struck by a truck on her way to work. So to cut it short we did not get past the 1st hole.
