Terry,
   Perhaps easily pleased, but more likely from getting to know you I would say it is a discerning palette.
   Of course you did see US golf in a pretty good light, given that your only exposure to golf here is LACC, Cypress, and SFGC. :)

How tight, front to back, is the green on #9?
Is it a more heavily contoured version of #12 at Augusta?

That is not fair....send him to orange county next time and we'll darken his outlook on short order.
You'd make a fine little helper. What's your name?

So you're suggesting that these 3 courses aren't indicative of US or Californian golf. :o I had assumed they were 3 of the least popular given the scarcity of golfers on offer. ;D

I'd think their location alone is what would make them great holes, they add variety to the course's landscape which is one of it's outstanding features.

And as Bob said, your boss must be a blaster because for most people a 5 iron off that tee would mean hitting a fairway that's 15 yards wide (not to mention likely a blind approach) as opposed to the 80 yards it widens to farther out in 3 wood range (for most people).

Spot on; this is bizarro world in which the least popular places are the best designs, offering play at a reasonable pace with decent conditions.

"Indicative" would be a 5-6 hour round, plus $100 green fee, cigar smoke, carts, GPS, unrepaired ball marks......
