Playing in December can be iffy in the south, FL excluded. But today it was upper 70's with 8-10mph wind. I would say perfect for playing golf!

First time playing the course, playing after lunch. The course has plenty of OB stakes and some water, but not unfair - fairways are wide enough that most balls should be in play, but I did hit 3 OB balls and shot 84. Not the courses fault but my swing - did play from the back tees.

The biggest cons I would say are two: Greens were inconsistent with the putting green. Putting green was much slower than on course. Bunkers were inconsistent as well. Some bunkers were like hitting off of hard clay. So be careful and dig in to get a feel of what is under your ball.

Over all it was a good day and the course played as what you see in front of you. Not many hidden angles. I would say most greens slope back to front so keep the ball in front of the pin and not go long or you will have a pitch over the ridge to a down hill slope. Greens were not overly fast, especially up hill. With greens inconsistent, those down hill putts can get away more than you think.

Indian Mounds course was in great shape today. Fairways were generous in width, rough was about 2-3 inches high and the greens were in good shape. The course is not too long from the tips, 6400 yds. Played early and finished in 2.5 hrs. with a cart. For a “Hot Deal” in Golfnow - it was a great round for the price. Plenty of wildlife as well. Wind can be very deceptive, trees typically block out what you feel at ground level but can eat up a ball if you get it above the tree line.
