It was a very beautiful course.
I was able to play comfortably on the beautiful course built on the grounds of the resort. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. I can't believe I was able to play on such a beautiful course at such a low price.

Neither here nor there
I expected more out of this course, but it was fun to play a little strange set up on some of the holes and some hidden water for an enjoyable afternoon.
