There were many monarch butterflies feeding on wildflowers at the Bigwin golf course

I golfed for 2 days at Bigwin golf course and there were many monarchs all over the course both days. There was milkweed everywhere and I also saw monarch caterpillars on the milkweed. I couldn't estimate an accurate number (there were probably hundreds) but there were always monarchs in view fluttering around or feeding on flowers. It's a good course because they don't spray the 'weeds' so there are plenty of wild flowers.
