It achieves a simplistic balance between creating an opulent golfing experience in such a modest town. The local players feel at home on these greens and are proud to play on such a historic golf course. Newcomers who visit for a round of golf on their travels are pleasantly welcomed with a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship and immediately remark on how soon they will be back.
