It's an absolute treat to play a course with all the PGA tournament extras set-up. With sponsor logo's abound, ground microphones implanted, bleachers, and pavilions all made for a unique opportunity to take advantage of, and all this really made the round. Although I don't profess to being a great golfer, I found the course to be VERY playble with your faith in your own hands. There are no surprises on this course and the layout is there for your taking. Each hole presents itself as straight forward and get-able. Keeping in mind it was 2 weeks before the WM open, the conditions were immaculate, to say perfect would not be an over statement. The greens despite being faster than average, were ultimately consistent and a pleasure to play on. I couldn't see myself playing this course without the WM open tournament facilities, definitely the time to play is with that set-up. The service staff were quite organized, keeping track of who was who as to recognize each guest by name. I told my name to one staff member, and after that they all knew my name, it was good communication on their part and a very great aspect to the day.

Having played this course a few times, I can say how excellent the conditions, service and maintenance are on a consistent basis. The course challenge is presented through the many, many bunkers spread throughout the course. Every hole offers a fair clear shot off the tee. The fairways are for the most part flat which allows clean shots. There is a great mix of good par 4's which allow scoring chances, and the stretch of holes 10 through 14 offer an incredible challenge. #4 is the signature hole, but #15 is just as gorgeous. The views make this course breathtaking, but to add to that is a world class challenging golf course.
