Redstone is a gorgeous place and has everything you look for in a great day of golf. The front nine is layed out very traditionally where several fairways work back and forth along each other allowing for good recovery on bad shots and giving players the opportunity to score well. The front nine is lined with many old trees and has a few holes where water comes into play. It is a good layout with no tricks or things that make a player pull his hair out. However, once the back side is reached things change dramatically. If you want to keep a good score going you must play it safe here. The course takes off into the hills and rewards you for smart play. There are several holes where big ball hitters will have to tone it down or lose a ball into the dark forest cover that surrounds the course. Now let me say it is not unfair or a trick back there, but it does require you to keep yourself in check. The course doesn't give any freebies with the exception of hole #16 which is a nice 310 yard par four with almost no trouble on it. It is my opinion that the layout is a perfect combination of risk vs reward golf. The greens on the course are in great condition and high ball hitters can throw darts at the stick and the ball will check up pretty quickly. Overall I truly enjoyed the course and will be back again .
