A few more trees (aka \u201cslice magnets\u201d) would have actually been more welcome for some much needed shade.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#008000\"><i>Water<\/i> \u2013 The course features two sizeable water hazards \u2013 on the 7<sup>th<\/sup> and 11<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 which are fairly accessible and seem fresh enough that Grace was able to wade in, cool her legs, and get a few sips. The 8<sup>th<\/sup> hole returns to the club house so you can refill your water supply there.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#008000\"><i>Wildlife<\/i> \u2013 The two lakes are obviously inviting homes to waterfowl and the first one was graced with a lovely family of ducks with seven ducklings trailing along behind mommy. And the other lake had a sizeable flock of Canadian geese. Both sets of birds made their way to the middle of the lake whenever ever a golfer strolled by so they never really were much of a distraction for Grace.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#008000\"><i>Wind Down<\/i> \u2013 Coronavirus continues to limit the options for post-round wind-downs. I looked again on the Doggie Pubs site for pubs that be at least be offering take-away but after going down the list of the ten closest establishments \u2013 none of them open at all \u2013 I gave up.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Milford-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"427\" height=\"568\" title=\"Milford 2\" style=\"display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"Milford 2\" src=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Milford-2_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome \u2013 With the sunny weather and coronavirus furloughs packing the courses, we chatted for a bit with a foursome of some very friendly members who were most enchanted by Grace.
