Keep an eye on the GPS screen, there are a couple lakes that are not visible ( but reachable) from the tee. Many long par fours from the tips.

Better Values Elsewhere
Slowest greens in the city. Putted like Velcro. No beverage cart service that day and no one told us before teeing off.
Checking elsewhere you’ll find better layouts, much better rolling greens and better amenities.

Beautiful Course
This is a beautiful golf course in great condition. Course amenities were great too, including carts with GPS, free range balls, nice pro shop and food service. The Westin is a very upscale hotel and vacation spot, and that was certainly reflected in their course.

Staff needs to improve pace of play. Question why starter first provides keys to cart at time of tee time. Players then have to drive to tee and start their routine causing groups to get off to a slow start. Also pace could be monitored since greens and tees are relatively close together.
Range could be improved so not such a steep slope
