Course in great shape!

Hadn’t played there in a couple of years. Was sad to see that they moved the par 3 (on the back 9) that had the green up on the hill back down to the same level as the tee box. I had birdied it last time I played it and was hoping to try again. Other than that the course looked great! Pace of play was steady.

My favorite golf course

This course has a little something for everyone.. It can vary depending on the tee box you choose. Ancil is not just a muni course it takes some precise shots to get around and score well. It is a challenge and I like that . I’ve played here for years and it’s always a treat.
