Finally played it for the first time, and it’s a good track, even late in the season. The conditions were good and I had fun. Played like absolute garbage, but that’s my fault not the courses fault.

Played the south course this past weekend. Greens were nice. Second Hole was under construction and some areas of the cart path were in process of being rebuilt. Overall was surprised how much money is being put into the course. Definitely will come back when the construction is complete.
