Nice Course - skimpy amenities

I really liked the scenic views and layout amongst some fairly steep hills. Fairways and greens were in very good mid-summer condition, and other than a bit of slow play, the game was great with reasonable greens fees! My only recommendation is to improve some of the basic amenities on the course. We played on a pretty warm day (1 August), and there were no drinking water coolers on the course, no beverage service (via roving cart), and ball washers had no towels and either no water or water from last year that smelled awful.

Bad Weather

Upon calling the course to check on weather, Mark was very helpful in describing. This helped to avoid unnecessary trip.
