I would go 5-5, as I find both courses to be way better than what I grew up playing in WNY. I'm also a fairly straight driver, especially when I stop experimenting and stick with the Nike driver that I hit well. My friend, Mr. KPL, is a bit wild at times, although never boring. As a result I understand why he dislikes Ruby Buzzard (code name for a certain area course) and parts of Arrowhead, that place a premium on driving.
When Ivy Ridge was being built, the guys were convinced by the owner of Reservoir Creek down in Naples, NY, to hire Blaine Harrison, a Canadian shaper, to do the greens. Best decision they ever made. If not for that hire, the greens would have looked like Buffalo Tournament Club's nondescript, big swingers. I think that, tee to green, both courses are close in terms of worth. I absolutely despise the two parallel par fives at LAIR, yet love the course. In my mind, those holes have the landing area for the second shot precisely where water (on both sides!) comes into play. To make it worse, the fairway shrinks down to nothing, so you either have 185 in for your third shot or you risk getting wet. The greens at the end of both holes are not very interesting. I think that the par fours and threes make LAIR. At Arrowhead, Scott's professionalism shines through. Interestingly enough, people have called for Arrowhead to add a set of decks, to offer a 7K yard playing option. It can be done, but does it need to be done?
