When it comes to landscaping this course was amazing. It is spread out over a large amount of land, enough land that most places could easily fit 36 holes instead of 18. A lot of work went into keeping the landscaping looking great, but unfortunately the holes themselves aren’t in the same condition. On several holes the carpeting is worn and some cases pulled up or torn. It looks like the course changes the pin placement on its holes, but they don’t do a very good job of covering the other holes when not in use (some courses cover their inactive cups with rocks or other obstacles). The rough they use is very different (more of a plastic doormat material) which adds a definite penalty for putting into the rough, but most of the holes could have used a good cleaning.
The course mixes long and short holes pretty well, also there isn’t a lot that sets the hole design apart from other courses and most of the holes are relatively easy. The shorter ones are almost a guaranteed ace for experienced golfers. The scorecard is sort of interesting as each of the holes has a name and little rhyme that goes with it (although the rhymes don’t always seem to make sense). Overall it wasn’t a bad course to play, but the holes themselves could be improved to meet the great landscaping the course has.
