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.

Good Variety

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.

Short & Average

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.

Good City Course, Poor Pace

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.

Solid Course

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.
