I played there a long time ago and didn't mind it at the time.

Ryan,

Can you explain in a little more detail using the pictures why you enjoyed NPB?
H.P.S.

From tee to green NPBCC is a good course.The greens are another story. I feel they can be managed with more frequent play. I understand JN did the greens as a defense to the "shortness" of the course.Overall, I wouldn't consider it a great course. I'd play it again but not in the high rate winter season.

I haven't played the Dye Course at PGA Village but I'll try to play there during my next visit in late January.

I'm disappointed that you couldn't play Park Ridge.

Carry, I thought the greens were fun, albeit there were 1, or 2 , or 3 too many internal contours used on most greens, but I don't think is makes them bad.... just different. To each his own.

The course is not subtle by any means, and the in your face features, whether they are wild greens, dramatic fall offs and false fronts, and some wild fairways contours, it is a welcome relief from what I have seen in Florida.

What makes the course appear unfinished?

Are you saying the variety and uniqueness of the golf holes disrupts the continuity?

 I'm really not following you hear because the rest of the visuals: bunkers, fairways, and green contours all have continuity. Are you looking for a consistent sameness, throughout the round just 1 less bunker or a bunker on the right, instead of on the left this hole? There are certainly holes that jump out at you like number 2, and 11 that may be a little more wild than the others but that kind of variety really kept me interested and excited for what was coming up next. I call this Fun!

anybody play either of the Fazio courses at PGA Village?  nobody seems to talk about them, which can't be a good sign
