VERY IMPORTANT: 

• Please drive very slowly (about 10 - 15 kph) once you hit the gravel on Townsend Rd. The farmer did not like all the dust we stirred onto his house at the last visit.
• There are lots of thistles and long grass on all courses so full leg covering is recommended.
• No drinkable water on the course so you might want to carry water if it is hot.
• If sunny - plenty of sunscreen and sunhat.
