Beautiful layout. Fair but challenging for all skill levels. Greens were extremely slow due to sand. I suppose sand is to be expected in early November as the course prepares for winter. Photo shows clubhouse in the distance with multi-tiered tees for #10

I have played this course 100 times, moved out of state and always come back to play. Love it, but it is sad to see money is not being put back into it from a maintenance perspective. The cart paths are falling apart, and the tee boxes are not maintained like yrs past. Still one of my favorites.
