Course is awesome - number 2 only to Pebble Beach in California. Caddies are terrific and the staff is beyond compare. Everyone I met even knew my name after I gave it at the gate driving in. The Frys.com PGA event will be held here in October 2010 - not sure how they will accomodate that kind of crowd, but they are certainly some of the most competent staff I have ever met. Golf is equivelent to the best the world has to offer - and although very expensive, it is no more expensive than any other course of equal status. Accomodations and food are truly world class - worthy of a premium vacation getaway...but very low key. Think total relaxation.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play, Staff, Clubhouse, Pro Shop
