Well over 100 Safari Club members traveled out to Dalton on Monday to play this fabulous golf course. Although I didn't play myself all the members I've spoken to since have said the same thing: "We've got to get this course on our regular season schedule...it's fantastic"! That's good enough for me to hear!

Wide fairways great for beginners and intermediate golfers, at least on the front 9. Back 9 holes are more challenging. Course was in great shape. Public course was not crowded on a beautiful Monday afternoon.

Nice place to walk or cross country ski in the winter months. If you go, please respect the course, and don't ski or walk across the greens. They are very clearly roped off to keep people from crossing over them, yet some people do it anyway.
