I Recommend This Course
Phew!
One of the more difficult courses you'll find in the South Bay, although removal of a lot of trees recently has opened up some of the holes and made the course easier. However, as the name suggests, the course is VERY hilly, and you will be faced will several shots per round where tour ball will be above/below your feet. Keeping your ball below the hole on the greens is of great importance. You won't make many downhill or sidehill putts out here. Pace of play is excellent, the members time is tracked and slow play is not tolerated.
