Every time I play the white course at Eisenhower, I walk off thinking that I left a lot of strokes out there. Its deceivingly challenging, especially for an intermediate golfer like me.

My recommendation is to be overly cautious about the traps. I was hitting into the wind most of the day, and even when i clubbed up, I would hit it short and land in one of those deep bunkers. Those bunkers can add up to a few triple bogeys really quickly. Yes, the course is mostly straight but, a few misplaced shots will completely kill your round. Also, if you hit your ball in that fescue that lines the sides of the fairways, good luck finding it. Yesterday I found myself in a lot of situations where I had to hit the ball 200 yards to get on in 2.

I would definitely recommend the White course.. Yeah, the 4+ hour pace of play can get a bit annoying, but again, its a public course in the middle of Nassau. Not a lot of 3.5 hour rounds around these parts.

Bring your long game, and have fun. I am looking forward to playing it again. Hopefully next time I can stay out of those traps!
