Course was beautiful

“My first time at a country club and I was pleasantly surprised we were able to drive the golf cart around this massive location. The course itself was beautiful, being able to see the neighboring homes, water, and being spaced out from others was a plus. No pressure and more time to focus on your next hit. Would recommend if you’re in the area, parking was easy, and the food was great”
