I stole this online review from another site as indication of what we dogged proponents of raw, natural, unfettered golf as fun adventure face in trying to move our ideals into reality.
5 useless Cirba points will be given out to anyone who can guess the course.
Likes:
1. Course in nice shape. Front nine wide open, very windy. Back nine mostly in woods, lots of elevation changes. Tons of bunkers on both 9's; back 9 harder.
2. Electric carts have ball/club washers
3. Good value in resort area. $44 for 18 w/cart.
Dislikes:
1. Small, over-undulated greens very difficult to hit and putt. They roll true, but I defy anyone to make a putt longer than 10'. Also, countless unrepaired ball marks on all greens.
2. Cart paths are a mix of gravel/dirt (front 9 more so than back), brick pavers, and ashphalt. Course should finish all unpaved path with ashphalt. Back 9 very steep - thought the cart wasn't going to make it.
CAUTIONARY NOTE: Do not drive cart in rough - your kidneys will pay the price. For a course 18 yrs old, I was disappointed in how bumpy the rough was.
3. Lots of blind shots on back 9.
