Anybody played this Nicklaus design?

Just wanted to add a little to this discussion since I played here this past week.  I've played a bunch of Nicklaus courses over the years, but I found this one to be one of his very best. 

The course had a ton of strategic merit... especially the 4 semi-reachable par 5s.  The par 3s were tough but fair (including a replica of #17 at Sawgrass).  The par 4s were all unique and forced you to work the ball both ways for the best angle of attack.  I especially enjoyed the couple short ones that offered a variety of options.

The green surrounds were some of the more interesting yet fair modern greens I've had the pleasure of playing.  And, the conditioning of the course was top-notch... playing hard and fast but impeccably maintained.  To top it all off, the caddies and staff were over-the-top from a service standpoint (as you might expect from a Ritz property). 

If you have the opportunity to play this course, I highly recommend it.  You might even get lucky and see a shuttle launch take place  a ways away as we did... a very cool sight to behold
