Fun Short course
Short 6300 yards, fun with a few tricks involved like traps, water and moguls.

Difficulty Fairly Easy
Very Slow
Have never seen this before... there were two foursomes waiting to tee off on the -2nd- hole, when we finished the first hole. Someone said the 3rd hole was a potential driveable par 4, and groups would wait until the green was clear. Either way, it was an unbelievably slow -nearly 3 hours for 9 (we quit at the turn), slowest I have ever seen. Waited at every hole. Although maybe have just been a bad day, probably not going to risk playing it again.

Greens are goofy
Had not played here in 30 years. Redesign is cool but I thought the tiered greens were not fair. All the tiered greens the pin was way back. Impressive improvements with limited acreage.
