After two days of constant rain - over 3 inches, the course was almost completely dry, just a few soft spots. 90 degree rule instead of cart path only. Green were firm and fast, but still growing into perfect condition. You need to change the name as it is no longer the Marsh Course. Was redone a few years ago by Pete Dye now know as Heron Point.
