Advertised as only course in the area with GPS on each cart. The GPS units had some neat features, like pressing a spot on the screen and it would tell you the distance to it -- great for a strange/new course so you wouldn't drive through doglegs and such. Worthless for pins as it only showed front/middle/back and was often 8-10 yards different than my Bushnell 1500.
All in all, a good track with lots of slight doglegs and much tighter fairways than a 'normal' Nicklaus layout. In very good condition, courteous staff, pace of play just under 4 hours though it seemed faster as there were very few backups. Moderately priced for the area, a good value in my opinion.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
