Lots of (beautiful) trees make this a challenging course if you don't keep it straight (which describes my game this particular round). Several long holes on slopes add to the challenge (and the beauty). The only hole I would complain about is the Par 3 13th, which features a three-tiered green that is just EVIL. You can easily 5-putt this green if you're not well placed, both from side to side or from front to back. And the grass is diseased and patchy in one low area. Unplayable in rainy or soggy conditions. Otherwise a nice test, and most prefer it to the easier West Course at Glendoveer.
