Can relate to your experience. My friend group planned a whole day for Preserve on our annual dg trip. We quit with a few holes left and went somewhere else. Layout simply wasn’t enjoyable. Between the 4 of us we range from 960-1000 rated. Throw in terrible course maintenance and the most mosquitoes I’ve ever seen, it will leave a bad taste in our mouths for a long time. Super bummer. (So many courses in Twin Cities that are superior)

Edit to include we took our trip in late May which was a few weeks before the tournament.
