Course didn't take long to dry out...

Very dry greens. Nice place but like its sister courses at Chedoke it's becoming a tired Jessie. Still a decent value but at this point I'd rather opt for Chedoke Beddoe for a twilight round.

Starters need to be educated

Course was in great shape but the starters are all buddies with the members who they then favour. Our tee time was at 920, and they let the group go off immediately after we cleared the landing zone. They should of waited till 930, which was their tee time. Instead we had 4 guys in carts on us the entire round. We walked 18 in 3hrs 50 mins. Under the average pace of play. Ruined the round and I'll never play there again because of it. This is not the first time this has happened. They put time in between tee offs for a reason.

Perfect weather
Walked

First outdoor round at home

I arrived an hour early at the club. The check in staff were great . I had time to practice putting and chipping.
We played the last day for walking only so it was a nice pace. I was tied after walking that beautiful course.
There was an unexpected surprise of wildlife through the round, a deer, a turkey, and a fox examined my ball after a nice drive.
But when the driver carts come out it would be hard to walk a round with them wizzing around. A great time.
