Played the course on 2/19/07 for the first time and found it to be quite a great experience. Although doppler indicated that we would probably play in a major downpour, the skies stayed clear and we were able to play our round without a drop of rain.

I thought the course was in impeccable condition. The fairways were uncharacteristically green for the time of year, and the rough was very thick. It truly is a challenging course that requires you to hit fairways and greens - if not, you're in for a long day. After the turn, I put away the big stick and played fairway metals off the tee and my score improved dramatically. I would suggest the same if you're not a straight hitter with the driver.

My only criticism of the course would be the greens. They are already very difficult because of the crowning, but I thought that the greenskeepers weren't taking care of the greens as well as the rest of the course. Although they putt true, the greens were bumpy and inconsistent. Part of the reason is players not fixing ball marks. You would think players paying up to $100 for green fees would have the etiquette to fix their marks.

I can't wait to come back...maybe after a a couple days on the range with the driver.
