Recommendations for Improvement
We have a few proposals that we believe can enhance this great course even more:
- Drinking water on site – A couple of water stations would be an asset on hot summer days.
- Improved Direction – Clear signs pointing to the next tee, particularly in the back 9, would be advantageous.
- A bit of TLC – Regular upkeep of the environment to prevent overgrown areas and erosion.
