Great local course

In great condition for this early in the year. Some fairways and tee boxes are a bit messy, but you can tell that this course is getting ready for the year.

Also, walk on the weekdays. Super affordable

Quirky Melrose

Short, hilly, quirky. Small, slope-y greens. Not easy.
Decent track but probably one and done for me.
Lost a lot of balls in the leaves.

Fun challenge

Did not play this course in 10 years. Forgot how challenging and fun Melrose can be. The length is not overwhelming but the elevation and angles make you think. Fairways could be improved.
