Good course for learning the game.
You can use every club in the bag but there no par 5's. More par 3's gives you more opportunity to work on your short game.

5-1/2 hours for 4400 yards!!!
It should be against the law to play this slow, 5-1/2 hours to play 4400 yards. Ridiculous!!!! I will never go back there. Love the layout but it should not take this long

Great par 62 course for the shorter game play!
For some reason, I usually play pretty good on this course :-) I'm not a great hitter off the t-with the driver, so this course suites my game well. I would recommend it and love to come here as often as I can during week days.

Keep up the pace
We’ve all been there before but keep up the pace especially if there is no one in front of you. The group in front of us held up the next 3 groups.
