Nice course, gets mundane for a stretch in the middle and has a few iffy holes, but no real complaints. Wind was blowing hard and greens were rolling fairly fast, so it made for a fun challenge. Pace was about 5 hours on Sunday - that hasn’t been common in my past rounds here.

The front nine is a lot of back-and-forth golf. Not much trouble and not much to think about - just hit your drives far and have a wedge in on your approach.
A lot of people complain about the back nine, but if you consider it a short course back 9, it's a lot of fun. Lots of tricky shots and great rolling hills.

Nothing special about the course whatsoever. Par 4 is definitely a loose term for this course - an average length hitter could probably drive 3-4 of the greens. A couple fun holes, but nothing to write home about.

Played here while on vacation. Decent layout, definitely from a different era. Greens were incredibly slow, but well taken care of. Course seemed to be in good condition overall. If you're a long hitter, you may hit a wedge into every green on the front. I'd suggest bringing out the long irons for practice of the tee to make it a little more fun.
Had about 3 hours, so I was planning on playing 12-15 holes before a wedding--barely got 9 in. Total time was 2 hours 50 mins on the front nine. Was pushed back by 1 tee time by the starter, then the ranger let a group play through because they were playing in city match play. The clubhouse tried to give me a rain check on another 9, but the computer wouldn't re-print my slip - still, I appreciate the gesture!
Overall, if I had 6 hours, I'm sure it would have been enjoyable, but it was just too slow, even by city course standards.

Really fun to play the course in such windy conditions, truly felt like a British Open. It was a really fun layout and wasn't far from the strip at all.
Only negatives were the pace of play (5 hrs 15 mins) and the conditions on some of the greens - would have expected better given the rack rate is over $200 for certain times of day.
