I have a new favorite course. Too bad I live 2 hours away. I tried this course out on Friday before playing Chambers Bay on Saturday.
Although it is somewhat new it is great. Pulling up you get the feeling that it was just built and it seems a little out of place for the surrounding. You soon forget about this when you start playing. The fairways are mid sized but many of the fairways are sloped, requiring a shot to a specific spot to accomidate a roll down slope. The greens are fantastic. Bent grass and nice & firm. Not too small and not so large that there is no challenge to hitting a GIR. The real beauty of this course is in the design. This was the 1st course I have played where you could see the magic of the design. From the tee the fairway would look wide open. After teeing off and heading down the fairway you would realize that slopes hid bunkers that were invisible from the tee box. Some of the tee boxes were angles just enough away from the center of the fairway to make you think about cutting a corner, this shot would be net with another unseen obstacle. My friends and I are already planning more day trips here abd we ca't wait.
