Played On 07/25/2014Very difficult course, unusual layout
This course is seemingly designed to mimic the difficulty of a PGA tournament course. It has several crested greens with shaved grass on the slopes coming off the greens. On several chips onto the greens, the ball rolled back off and down the hill to where the chip was made. Very frustrating for someone playing it the first time! Also, the course layout of 6 par 3's, 6 par 4's and 6 par 5's is unusual. The scorecards only list the yardages from the championship tees, and don't have diagrams to show the layout of the holes. The carts have GPS, so that helps, but it is hard to know where to hit drives without some indication on the scorecard of where the hole is. I'm guessing that the course has recently been remodeled, as my personal GPS (one year old Garmin) showed different pars and distances for some holes than what they actually are. The course should coordinate with the GPS providers to update the current course configurations. I don't think I would be interested in playing there again.

This course is a favorite of mine. It is an expensive course that I probably would not play very often at its standard rates. I appreciate the hot deals rate that was offered.
