Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Tuesday, August 2011 at noon
This is a tale of two courses - the front and back sides are completely different.
The front side is short, and fairly benign. Keep it near the fairways , and you'll score.
The back side is EXPONENTIALLY more difficult. And they've tricked it up in the last few years by tightening several fairways, and adding "Environmentally protected" hazards in between several holes in areas that were previously used to bail out! There are four (FOUR!) par 4's on that back that stretch over 420 yds each. Three of these are over 440yds. The par three's are 185, and 205 yds. The lone par 5 is a 517 yd dogleg left, and the entirety of the left side is now an "Environmentally protected" hazard. Whoever thought the course would be improved by these changes is out of their mind.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better courses for less nearby
Condition of Course, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play, Staff
