Yesterday, I was finally able to see the course that’s being designed by Nathaniel Pearlman. Lots of elevation beautiful Vermont wooded courses . Nathaniel has come to Dee’s course design conference several times. The elevation changes are tremendous and create a unique recreational experience. He’s still not fully done with the build. He’s open to allowing people to come by and see it if anyone is near Bradford Vermont. He can be contacted by email at. [email protected]. Good to spend time yesterday, Nathaniel
