Ugh, I had a whole long post typed up and the pc ate it.
Overall the whole experience was excellent. We drove up Friday afternoon and played 18. I played pretty poorly but I'll blame that on playing with two guys who couldn't break 120 on their career day and teh drinking that ensued. The course was in great shape, the best manicured course I've played besides Carlton Woods. I came around a bit on the back nine and carded a 42 (with a stupid Phil-esque double on 18) to give me an 86 for the day (net 82 with the 1/2 stroke per beer handicap). Highlight of the round was a near ace on number 15, it didn't miss backing in by more than an inch or two.
We went back to the "cabin", and I do use that term loosely since it's a 4 bedroom house that's nicer than most homes, and cleaned up for our 9pm dinner. Good steak, good wine...good time. Poker and drinking until about 2am, tee time at 10am. Rained out after 5 holes Saturday morning.
Final grades:
Layout A+
Condition A+
Resort Facilities A+
Resort Staff A
Forecaddies D (they basically just hung out with us and pointed in the direction they though our ball went)
Weather C- (at least we got to play 18 Friday in the shade)
WP immediately goes down on the "Don't Miss" no matter what courses list.
