This was my first time playing here, but certainly not the last! I was fortunate enough to play it last summer during preview play. The course was very firm (the greens may have been some of the firmest I've ever putted on), and sometimes the bounces were a bit unfair, but hey, that's golf! The one thing I would improve is the native area off the fairway. Although the fairways were very wide, they were very firm. One of us would hit a drive, and we would think it was perfect, but it would go bounding into the native area, where we spent a lot of time looking for lost golf balls. Overall, I think the course was a little rough around the edges, but it certainly lived up to all the hype!

This was one of the greatest courses I've ever played. I was fortunate enough to get on in June of last year, and it was amazing. Everything, from the course, the location, the experience, the food, the staff friendliness, was first rate. If you absolutely love golf course architecture, especially classic architecture, this is a course you MUST play before you die. The green contours may have been the greatest greens the Doctor designed. I can't put into words how good the course was. Like I said, if you LOVE classic architecture like I do, you NEED to play here, no matter what!
