Tim Johnson,  our Pro enjoys an afternoon at the beach.  Through the hole in the fence, we can see Navy Golf Course where we learned to play!


They call her "The Machine" because they go straight as a string and right down the center of the fairway!


There is plenty of water at Old Ranch which makes for cool summer afternoons!


Yes, the bridge did NOT collapse under my weight!


The cart paths are continuous and well maintained with two very nice comfort stations located mid course.


Water sounds are pleasant to hear and the water is crystal clear!


Tee boxes are exceptionally maintained with divot fixing equipment on every Tee!


Water everywhere but only a few as hazards (well, serious hazards!)


The home stretch on 18....  The bar is beckoning me!


Beautiful clubhouse and super duper staff!
