Had a great time playing the North course Friday/Saturday this past weekend. Played the silver tees on Friday as we had some higher handicaps in our group. Huge difference in difficulty from Silver to Gold. Silver plays under 6100 yards which makes for a lot of shorter par 4's (no driver needed). Didn't love this layout. Opinion was totally changed when we played the Gold tees on Saturday (6700 yards). Gave the holes a lot more character and made for a better test of golf. Course was challenging but fair. Rewarded good tee shot placement and provided for interesting looks at the greens (elevation changes etc). Greens were in good shape (some resort guests don't fix divots). They weren't as fast as I'd like but they had undulation and character which was nice. Pace was great both days (little rain Saturday scared everyone away). Only knock would be on the price which is a little inflated given it's the casinos premium course and they know they can command expensive greens fee. I'm used to paying $100+ for a nice round so it didn't bother me but I wouldn't recommend for casual players who would probably have more fun paying $50/$60 to play a course that was better aligned with their level of play. All in all a great experience and will certainly play again on my next trip down.
