Comments: At least one bunker to avoid on every hole... Mature parkland but the fairways are tight enough in places to threaten some of the tee shots. . . Look out for the ditches that tend to pop up in all the wrong places. . . Par-4 2nd, which measures 448 yards and plays uphill, is by far the toughest on the course. . . Really enjoyed the closing hole. It may measure only 330 yards, but I'm sure the pond that guards the front of the green collects a fair number of golf balls during the season...Friendly welcome assured.
