We had fun.

I'm not good, so this course was a challenge for me. But, I think it's a course that I could improve my score on as I become more familiar with it.
I hadn't played it in maybe 3 years. I was working then, so I played on the weekend when it was croded and they were trying to push everybody along. Yesterday was much more relaxed and much more fun. Now that I'm retired and plan on more frequent play here.

I like it

Nothing fancy, but fun. There isn't usually any problem getting on, it's pretty flat, so no need for a cart. A good practice run..

DON'T GO, IT'S NOW A "SOCCER GOLF" COURSE

THERE ARE NO SIGNS AND THE STAFF DON'T TELL YOU WHEN YOU PAY, BUT YOU WILL BE PLAYING ON THE SAME COURSE AS GUYS PLAYING "SOCCER GOLF". EACH SPORT HAS A SEPERATE TEE BOX, THEN THE SOCCER GUYS HAVE A BARREL-SIZE CUP NEAR THE GREEN WITH A FLAG. THE TWO GAMES AREN'T PLAYED ON THE SAME HOLE AT THE SAME TIME, SO FAR, BUT SINCE THE SOCCER GAME IS SO MUCH FASTER, YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE A BUNCH OF GUYS WAITING FOR YOU TO FINISH UP. I HEARD ONE OF THE SOCCER GUYS COMPLAINING TO THE STARTER ABOUT THE GOLF GUYS HOLDING THEM UP! THERE ARE TRACKS ACROSS THE GREENS FROM SOCCER SHOES RUNNING ACROSS THEM AND LOOKING AT THE GREEN AND SEEING TWO FLAGS IS DISTRACTING. GOLF PEOPLE ARE ANGRY ABOUT THIS SUDDEN INVASION AND I'M SURE THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLAYED HERE FOR YEARS. I'VE LOVED THE COURSE, BEEN PLAYING HERE A LONG TIME, BUT TODAY I'M PLAYING ELSEWHERE. I'M SURE SOCCER GOLF IS FUN, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE PLAYED ON A "SOCCER GOLF COURSE", NOT A "GOLF GOLF COURSE". I GUESS CHARGING PEOPLE TO PLAY SOCCER GOLF WILL BRING IN SOME MONEY, MAYBE EVEN ENOUGH TO MAKE UP FOR THE GOLFERS THEY'RE LOSING.
