Only got to play the front nine but man oh man did I love this place.
Just fantastic architecture throughout. Every approach shot was so fun and challenging. Big greens with a ton of movement in them. We played different pins first vs second time through and the holes felt totally different.
World class opening tee shot.
#3 is almost certainly the most demanding par 3 I've ever played. Maybe the most demanding par 3 I've ever seen. Miss left and you're above the green chipping (or hitting out of a trap) to a landing area that runs away from you. And right of the green is WAY below the putting surface so you're pitching (or hitting out of a trap) to way above you and if you're long you are on the hill or in the traps. And this is on a hole that played 200 to the short pin or 230 to the back (from the whites). Laying up is not a bad option.
Alister MacKenzie used to live on #6.
Can't wait to come back and play it again once the second nine is complete. Everyone there was saying that the back has got a lot more elevation changes and forced carries.
And the cherry on top was that the vibe was a lot like what I have experienced at nice courses in Scotland and Ireland. Very inclusive and welcoming. Members and staff all seem genuinely proud of the course and delighted to share it with you.
HIGHLY recommend this one if you visit the area.
