Great value- free, I was a guest, a thank you to mu host!
I found some of the tees rather difficult to get to at my age. The greens were very fast, undulating and sloped. Bunkers had bees flying all around, it looked like they were burrowing into the sand. I took a mulligan for my sand shots:). No, GPS, ball washers or divot fill sand on the carts.
The fairways were very nice. All the holes provided some challenge with a par five being the most fun with the 3rd shot to the green located in the ravine 150' below. Blast away for the back of the green is below the other side of the ravine and it slopes back onto the green. I missed my putt and bogied.
Watch out when going into the mens food area. The floor has about a 4" up slope right inside of the door, I twisted my funky knee when entering. I don't understand why the 7th green would be placed in front of the clubhouse with the ninth green being located at the bottom of the clubhouse hill.
Very friendly staff.
