Played course as part of a group outing. Two of the foursome in front of us were complete jerks--goofing around, not raking traps, hitting multiple balls on a number of shots and drinking too much--which slowed down the round for all of us behind them. The marshal talked to them several times and the other two that they were playing with were prodding them to straighten up and apologizing for the goofs, even though they did not know them, but it didn't help much. Otherwise, this is a TOUGH course, with the best holes from the best courses across the country (Augusta, TPC Sawgrass, Baltusrol, Winged Foot, etc...). There is no let up--one classic hole after another. That said, the course was in the best shape I've ever seen it and I look forward to going out there again.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
