This is a great links layout set in a wide arroyo, and it can get very challenging when the wind blows. Both the fairways and greens are VERY fast, which has its plusses and minuses. To boot, the greens have a LOT of contour, with multiple landing areas on each green no more than 10 feet in diameter. They border on unfair, and the ball will roll off the green easily or from one level to another if you don't stick it. They do roll true, but you sure don't want to be putting from above the hole. In general, you don't want to be past the hole either, as many greens have either eight foot drops behind them or OB or eco zones. Bunkers are steep and difficult.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
