I played little chip, sawed off 5 irons to both the 5th and 7th greens. The seventh in particular was very, very fun. I think my ball disappeared for a solid three-four seconds before reappearing as a trickle on the back left part of the green. If you're being creative and playing the course with a grin--as you should be--only #6 and #8 aren't conducive to a well placed running shot. I had a hoot out there after getting beat up by the big course.
In all actuality, I think the short course has a better, more flowing set of green surfaces than the "big" course. The angles that they play relative to the teeing areas are very well conceived. As are the contours.
