Just finished 6 holes, became too dark to play safely. It will become challenging as it matures.

If you are a walker, it’s along way to each hole, and no where to cut through.

The rain backed everything up and there were 4 groups behind us when we stopped.

Course seemed to play longer than it looks. Water levels were down, when they become full, they could be in play. The par 4 was nice, turf is still new, and walks like you have a spring in your step. Could be difficult to hit off.

Unlike Red and Grey Fox, there are homes around entire course, not occupied. The bugs were out in full force so bring your spray.

One thing we noticed was the drone of the turnpike. Not really noise, but background noise.
