Not an overly long course. Overall, the layout is fine with lots of trees. It is a nice looking course.
My main and only complaint are the greens. Virtually every green has extreme slope and is very quick. So if you think your shot onto the green is going to stay on the green, forget it, it will roll off. If you think that you will hit it short and have the ball roll up to the hole, forget it, the slope on the front will keep it there. If you try to chip it near the hole from the fringe, forget it, because it will probably roll 10-20' past. I usually only 3-putt about 1-2 times a round but I must have 3-putted 6 times that day.
One other thing to note is that there are houses on almost every hole. Most of these houses sit right next to the course so if you are someone who slices or hooks, you might be knocking a few balls off of some homes.
