We also see people walking their dogs in the late evening, and almost all of them have the sense to keep the dogs on a leash. Once I had an unleashed dog come charging up to me while barking in a menacing manner, so I pulled out one of my clubs and took a swing at it. The dog backed off and its owner quickly came up and put a leash on it. Other than that one incident, no problems.


This place is different than any place I have ever known, AND it is MUCH larger than most people are expecting. It works because people, FOR THE MOST PART, respect the deed restrictions and the rules and are intrinsically caring and respectful of others, FOR THE MOST PART..


I love it here. Golf is very different than golf in the outside world, but I still love the golf-y atmosphere, and the beautiful vistas of golf courses everywhere. And I have always loved golfers. Real golfers pretty much always act like ladies and gentlemen.
