Interesting Donald Ross Layout

I have heard so much about this course and was looking forward to playing it. I (14 index) played it with my 17 yr old son yesterday (who out swings me for distance) and found the course to be in great shape, difficult to play, but not exceedingly punishing. If I lived in the area, I might play it more often, but the difference in playing the whites for the front 9 and then the blues for the back 9 did not offer enough variation in playing the same holes twice. That said, it did give us a chance to redeem ourselves in replaying a hole we might have not played well in the front 9. Greens ran fast and true. wide open fairways with some significant swells and false fronts. Definitely a challenge, but then again except for a pitch and putt, all courses are a challenge for me. I love playing Donald Ross designs and glad I had this chance. That said, this region offers a lot of great golf courses and based on my play at Whitinsville, I would probably play other more diverse 18 hole courses that don't repeat.
