Front 9 is pretty solid, 10-14 are mountain golf and the finishers aren’t bad at all. Btr know where the ball is going here or it’s going to be a long day.

Probably the most beautiful opening hole in all of NC. Course was flush with grass all around. If you ever wanted to play in the mountains, this is a great one
