Put out a few more benches for walkers so we can sit while waiting. I know it's winter, but a bit of booze in the ball cleaners will keep them from freezing...put them back out. And water To drink would be nice too. Very consistent greens, but nobody likes to fix their ball marks. Great price for a pretty nice course. Lots of courses don't seem to know what twilight is any more, so thanks a lot for that option. I'll be back.
