The course is in great shape except for greens. Golfers there apparently do not know how or will not repair their ball marks on the greens.
No beveridge cart after 3 pm on 88 degree day. Booooo. Other than that, would play any day.

Enjoyed the round immensley. Since I photograph at the same time I play it always makes the round interesting, but managed a birdie. The greens are bent grass so they are left long and somewhat slower than bermuda greens in the area. Putting with the grain was about a 9, but into the grain about a 6.5. I left a 5 footer short of the hole for birdie into the grain. Anyway the course is beautiful and will make you use your head off the tee as well as shots into the greens.
