Miller review

Solid course. Great test

Several of the holes are a decent length, other holes have water, many holes in the smaller greens that are undulated… It’s not the easiest of courses, that’s for sure. Great place to test your skills

green mower where are you

shame the greens looked like it had not been mowed for several days. these greens are normally slow but Saturday they were ridiculously slow. also needs a ranger bad to prevent groups pairing ip after teeing off separately to groups of six.. pace of play was a crawl..
