    This course has truly amazed me, I have never played this golf course in such a good condition. This coming from a player that is part of the PGA and learned golf on this course. And It will only get better. Hats off to the management team the course is in a fantastic condition.

    The course is getting better day by day, I would say give it another year and a half or maybe even 2 years to get it back to professional tournament condition.
