Surprising golf experience

I golfed 2 rounds from 9:42am - 2pm (with 45 min. beer break at the club house) with 2 friends. It was a hot and humid day (~32 C) but the breeze and large trees and numerous benches helped cope.
We are average golfers and found this course sufficiently challenging with the sloping greens and pin placement. There were all types of golfers on this course from beginner to professional - but primarily novice to intermediate. You only need your driver for 2-3 holes being a short par 4 course. I only used my 3 wood off the box and did fine.
There are the odd tighter fairways and a few dog legs to keep it interesting.
For being in the middle of a residential area it didn't feel like it - the mature tree and protected rolling hill landscape and natural swamp-like ponds it made it feel a bit more secluded.
The grounds, greens and bunkers were clean and well kept. From the first 9 to our second the sprinklers softened up the land a bit.
Overall a great experience for the $15 plus an additional $10 for the second round.
I will be going again and recommend this course to anyone for a quick challenging and affordable game.
