The course played really well. Lots of trees, but the fairways are pretty wide. #9 had the pin in the front of the green and was very challenging. It appears there are some extended tournament tees on the two long, dog-legged par 5's. These would make a player work around the corner on their second shots and make these holes a true par 5. Also, there is a new water hazard on number 2 that is very well placed. Lots of fun and an incredible value.
