Four singles

Hoooked up with two separate single on the first 3 holes. Another single join us on hole #4. Actually played good until the 18th hole where I lost a ball on my 3rd shot to the green. Still walked away with a bogey 👍

Lied to

Always allowed to play alone. Was forced to pair without consent and told I would slow pace as a 80 golfer from the tips. Understandably she doesn’t have to believe me but either way I paid and I was not refunded and she forced me to cancel.

Best Condition It’s Ever Been In!

Been playing here for 3 years and yesterday was the best condition I’ve ever seen the course. The greens were fantastic, grass in the fairways and we finished our round in 4 hours 15 minutes. Go play here now!

Effort showing

The course maintenance has improved with the good weather.
I’m not sure they realize we review the tee boxes and greens.
