I just returned (Feb. 23) from a trip to WW. We played 36 a day, for two days, on each course. Like Joe said, the condition of RO is not nearly as good as PB. You can definitely tell the difference. I enjoyed both, but I think PB is a much better course. I liked how PB let you hit driver off almost every tee, but yet you needed to make sure you picked the right spots to get a good approach to the green. I enjoyed the greens, but some were huge, and have a lot of slope, and contour. If on the correct side, two putting wasn’t too bad, but if not, it was a chore. I started out par, par, par, birdie at PB, so I thought I was the greatest ever. It got worse, much worse, but really enjoyed it. I had a lot of puts, but more me than the greens. I struggled from the waste areas, but there is plenty of room to miss those! I liked the range, but the hype may be a bit overblown. It’s just a range, and while massive, it’s just a range! We could only hit from one part of it, so that maybe took away some of the 360 degree feel. Also, the two acre putting green is huge, but sort of goofy, IMHO. I couldn’t find a flat spot on it at all.
I also enjoyed RO, but it’s not as good a course. Simply doesn’t have the appeal off the tee, and the greens are not as good. A few holes that seem to just be placed on the course, to get the 9 in. Never felt that way at PB.
Price was very reasonable. $145 for 36, with cart, balls, and lunch. $125 for same on weekday. I’d go back again. Didn’t hurt that we got 3 great days of weather, mid 70’s each day, and that wasn’t the case before we arrived.
I wish I took better pics. One things I’ve learned on GCA is the pics really enhance a review. I took a few, but not worth posting.
I’d give PB a 7 for sure. RO, 4.
