First full 18 holes of 2020. Fun time at Villa. Have played there over 75 times as it's close to home. Easy check in with Covid limitations. Carts and course in good shape. Greens had some rough spots. Halfway house being open was a pleasant surprise. Pace of play was fine.

Noon tee time on a hot sunny and windy day. Played the Lakewood course (I think commonly referred to as the inside course) at St. Andrews. 3 of us playing and we actually were able to start a little early. Foursome ahead of us at the start then around the turn a group of 3 walking teenagers (good players) caught us so we let them play through. Excellent service by the cart lady and we needed some cold beverages to get through. Course was in great shape, rough not unfair at all., greens where super fast with some tough pin locations (hills, dips/valleys in the green). Challenging as is the water you encounter on 17 and 18 (it's a distance thing) Will definitely play again either course!!!! Oh and cart #100 was a speedy one!

Played Bartlett Hills for first time on a Tuesday afternoon. Windy day (gusts near 20mph at times) but sunny. Used groupgolfer discounts we had purchased a year before. If you have these call the pro- shop for a tee time as online charges a $3.40 reservation fee. A friend and I got paired up with 1 other golfer so we had three players. Course was in good shape despite constant rain for a 2 week period before. Rough was a little thick,not sure if it's always like that. Greens and fairways well maintained. It is a hilly course, several blind shots. Undulating greens but many make-able putts. Didn't find that water/creek really came into play, bunkers can and a couple narrow fairways off the tee. Good pro-shop, clubhouse, and halfway house. No cart girl when we were there. Pace of play slowed on the back 9 with 2 foursomes ahead of us. Course could use more distance markers, i'd suggest poles in the fairways rather than in-ground markers. Overall a fun course that I fully intend to play again!!!
