The front nine plays longer than the back nine. The greens are consistently well maintained, There are no sand bunkers anywhere on the course. Water hazards come into play on eight of the eighteen holes.
Don't miss to the left on hole #11, a 305-yard, par 4, which has water down the left side from the tee to green. The finishing hole is also quite memorable. This 540-yard, par 5, features a severe dogleg left fairway with a canal crossing through the fairway twice.

My old home course, the course has never been well maintained. The folks that hang around there are nice and everyone makes the best of it, but the course could be so much more with a little time and money. About 10-15 years ago they made some changes that improved the place somewhat, but not enough. There is no sand on the course. Mounding and drainage would help. Greens need to be upgraded to USGA standard - they are horrible when wet. Lots of dead areas due to too many trees and no agronomy to speak of. But, for a place to tee a ball up and go hit it at a cheap price, it's not bad.

Many improvements in the course itself over the last few years. A well kept secret.
