What a civilized society. Both golf courses look amazing! Long, narrow, bunkers, but the one on the bottom must be the best, the houses are huge off that course.

the houses are huge off that course.

One is a very old and traditional clubhouse. The pro shop is fantastic.

The first course has a couple fake doglegs, confuses the heck out of folks, and for a muni is REALLY slow. I mean Rome could burn in the time it takes to play there on a w/e. The better bet, pay up for the south course!
