Nice Course

The course was challenging yet not to difficult. The previous night's rain made the course play longer than advertised and caused the dreaded "cart path only" rule to be enforced. You'll have to use every club in the bag so pick your tee based on ability.

Some of the sand traps were in terrible condition especially for a course charging almost 70$ a round
