I played Wildhorse today for the first time and loved it! The temperature was triple digits and the wind was blowing about 25 mph from the south (I think that was the direction...the first hole was straight downwind).
The turf conditions were absolutely ideal for golf, and the fairways and especially the greens had quite a bit of speed to them. The "wooga" was quite playable in most spots (certainly more playable than the thick stuff at Prairie Dunes, where I played this past week).
What a great setting for golf. The clubhouse is in the perfect spot high above the rest of the course. I'm glad the housing development is and will remain largely detached from the main body of the course.
The 7th and 15th holes were both driveable from the back tees. The 8th at 451 yards took two big shots to get to the green. The par 5's on the back (#14 and #17) played like medium-length par 4's.
Favorite shots: the tee shot on the 10th, the short 11th, the long par-3 13th, trying to drive #7 (that centerline fairway bunker is perfectly placed) and #15, and both shots on #18.
Interesting observation: with the wind today, the tee shots on #6, #10, #16, and #18 were quite similar, and I noticed that on almost every dogleg hole (the lone exception was #12), the wind was blowing across the dogleg so that you had to hug the corner off the tee.
I like windmills on golf courses...
