more visual than bite

If you can hit the shots, play mostly the right side of fairway- the trouble is mostly visual- greens are not very undulating-play smart and you will have a good time

Yikes.

There’s difficult and then there is stupid difficult. This one verges on the latter. Good shots are not rewarded, only perfect shots. 😔

Beautiful hard course

Terrific course. It was a cold, windy, rainy day but still had a great time. Appreciated the pace of play and the level of difficulty had me wondering why I play this game!
