1) No one should construct a new course without a driving range.
2) Once you leave the 1st tee, you never see the clubhouse again and food and drink carts are too sporadic if there at all.
3) Water jugs were there on some tees but there were no drinking cups.
4) On the front side there's a hole the pros would have difficulty parring in 4: 470-some yards over a cavern and then steeply uphill and generally into a high wind, and your approach shot is often a blind one, with nothing but trouble if you miss.
5) Because of its difficulty, it's not a widely popular course, so it can have a ghost-town feel.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
Condition of Course, Difficulty, No Houses on Course
