We got lucky and no one in front of us. Played 9 holes in 1 hour and 30 minutes. Fun little course that does have a couple of challenging holes.

I had the whole course to myself. Tee shots don't have much wiggle room so use accuracy instead of distance. Greens rolled true.

Poor Muni Experience. Rate is much more than I'd want to pay. Just play it because it is conveniently located in my home town.
