Would've been nice to play the whole 18.

Paid for what I thought was 18. Drove 45 minutes to get there, and the back 9 was closed. No advance notice given by GN. Salvaged it by keeping a good attitude, appreciating that the weather was great, and the overall appearance of the front 9. But playing the same 9 holes twice to make 18 isn't my idea of a good value. Nor is it incentive to drive that distance.

My Mather GC experience

Played 18 with a pick-up group of 3 others. Hot weather on a holiday weekend. The course is nicely laid out IF YOU CAN HIT A DRAW. And, if you've still got a slice you're in for a ride. The fairways while frequently very wide also have bottlenecks so unless you can hit fairly long straight drives, or as I said 'hit a draw' you're going to be scrambling a lot. That said, I had a lot of fun and met some nice people. Lots of long par 4s and some slight elevation changes throughout, with just enough change between holes to keep things interesting. The greens, while not tiered or very large are still challenging and not something to take for granted. The fairways are still pretty green but get anywhere outside the middle and you're going to have to deal with hardpan. I only got sandy once and didn't notice any concrete but I saw a buddy's sandwedge bounce prior to making contact. Other than that it was overall a good golf experience.
