Got home early enough today (4/20) to get a match play practice round in for Rstang06 @ 2:40 (grabbed a course website online deal $20 w/cart, at check out saved another $10, so both of us played for $30 w/cart...can't beat that with a stick. This was one of the original 'learner' courses I played (once), about 6 years ago. Local very casual (atmosphere/attire vibe) short course...But don't let that fool you. Heck, just make the green in one and allow 2 putts to the hole for standard Par or Birdies, and you're golden! ;)
Quaint clubhouse/pro shop. Very pleasant young man assisted with check in, and advised course was open if we wanted to head out a little early. They do have a driving range (off grass) behind the Building. We went out cold just to get through the round (we should've warmed up). 2 balls lost/OB. Tee boxes showed signs of use, lots of divot damage due majority of Par 3 holes, many a bit unlevel. Fairways, hard/very thin. Bare areas throughout. Rough, playable but sparse. Greens were Beautiful! Very soft, receptive, but many sloped back down towards hazards penalizing even a great shot. Tricky to read. Ran very slow and broke significantly. Pin placement on some of the holes sloping down to the water will certainly make or break even the best game. Fun little course to hone your iron game and putting prowess. :) Popular with the locals for an after work quick round for sure. Oh, wind stays behind you typically on the front nine assisting with distance; and either cross or in your face on the back 9. Neat little short course, very casual, and welcoming. Just this novice golfin gals thoughts. :)
