Call Ahead on Rental Clubs

Showed up for a foursome and needed rental clubs. (2 sets) and were told they were out although I called ahead to tell them we would need rentals. It was raining and there was no one else on the course. Told they were all damaged. There is no spot for rental clubs in the Golfnow app. Disappointed but were able to go to another course and get on.

Not a bad place

Traps are horrible. Not maintained, weeds, pretty bad. Greens were OK, some bad spots. Fairways in pretty good shape. No water on the course. at all.

Great Mountain Golf

Wow! What a great layout with outstanding course maintenance. Every hole was uphill or downhill, and some were both. Excellent test of shot-making skills from uphill, downhill, and sidehilll lies. Rough could be difficult, and on many holes had to judge whether to lay up or try to carry streams. Great mountain views. Not for beginners.
