Course itself is in fantastic shape. Fairways and tee boxes are immaculate. Course layout is way too punitive for the average golfer. With a 20 handicap, I feel like I was beat up for 4 hours. Fairways are severely sloped with anything rolling off unplayable or lost.

Greens hold no shots at all as they are either very small, firm, or sloped like crazy. Two putting on every green is a challenge with the many undulations. I hit shots long down the middle of the fairway that were lost as they rolled to "who knows where" when they went over a hill (too many blind shots).

Customer service was fantastic and the clubhouse is first rate. Unfortunately, I won't be back in less the ease up on the difficulty a bit. They need to do a few things: (A) lose a few sand traps- the course is hard enough as it is with the elevation changes. (B) Slope the edges of the fairways so as many shots don't run into no man's land as they do. (C) Re-grade some of the greens (or slow them a little) so they aren't so punitive.

Just my $.02!
