Page Park

Finally played Page today. Really impressed! What a beautiful course. The upkeep seems to be really exceptional. And as a first-timer - the trail markers are incredibly helpful, I didn't miss a single hole. Except 13... Someone was having a party on the green.. Tied their dog and balloons to the pin ...

Re: Torrington DGC?

Excellent - Thanks James! It takes a village, right? :mrgreen:

I'm not entirely clear on the property border to the north, but the rest of the parcel is bordered by the highway and wetlands (and the residence pictured off of Machuga Rd.)
