Just a few quirks keep this course from 4 stars.
Looking at weather reports most days wind blows from the south, and when I say wind I mean 2-3 clubs.
So 240 yard par 3 from middle tee was unreachable, but next hole par 4 is downwind drivable with 3 wood.
13 Tee shot doesn’t have enuf room left of bunker unless you carry it 250+.
14 would be nicer if you had a little glimpse of flag from left side of fairway.
18 is out of character for the rest of the course... a tight drive after playing some of the widest fairways ever.
This course is way more fun than the White Course, but the flow is just a little off.

This is not sour grapes because I shot 76 both rounds. 9 of the holes you can’t see putting surface, only part of the flag. One of those you can’t see the flag no matter where you are, and two others you can’t see the flag if you’re on the wrong side of the fairway.
I don’t mind 1-2 of those in a round, but this got old. The greens have great undulations, and the firmness and wind mean you have to play for the ball to roll after it hits the green. But that’s not possible when you can’t see the great undulations.
This site has so much potential, if you could actually see the greens from the fairways it might actually be fun to play.
