Very nice course---plays VERY short from the whites--so if you normally, play whites, you might want to go BACK to the yellow/gold (and yes--that is odd....). But playing up at the whites, actually offered several potentially drivable Par 4's, which was fun. These putting greens were simply awesome--perhaps the best I have played, and I have played a lot of "top" courses. Incredibly smooth--like a pool table almost, and that is not an exaggeration---and yet reasonable speed so you could putt to the hole. If only I hit my irons betters, would have been a great round!

This is a very nice course in a beautiful setting---definitely a course to experience at least once. I am a good golfer and hit the ball very well during this round, but make not mistake--this is a difficult course. Generally playable---with a couple quirky holes--even with a great drive on the very narrow Par 5 number 15---you MUST keep the ball right towards the trap and hill---hit what I thought was the perfect lay up shot only to find it was in the weeds to the left that jut in towards the green--and you can't see that from the fairway. The strong wind made several holes play very long---even with a very good driver day for me. Only criticism is for the high level and $$ amount of this course, several tees were in very sub-par condition. I did get a great Golf Now tee time rate---but if was paying full price the tee condition on certain holes would be rather disappointing. Surprisingly, there is also a lot of traffic noise from the interstate which did detract a bit from an otherwise peaceful round.
