Golf course
😠 This was the worst golf course I've ever played in my life. Playing the blues made it extremely challenging , but the fairways were nonexistent. Tee boxes were not taken care of at all. The best that can be said is that the greens were extremely consistent. If it had better upkeep, I would definite...
