Watching it on the Golf Channel and it looks really good. From the website and TV, seems like there are two excellent links courses on a great site desingned by Kyle Phillips. Anyone ever play there?

Bill-I was watching this morning too and I agree it looked really good. What a contrast in the shot making from the Shell Houston Open where the majority of approach shots are coming in a million miles in the air. Really fun to watch the ball get flighted down and the ground game on full display. I see a lot of smallish trees in what look like small groves between some of the holes. I wonder if any of the Euro guys know if these are olive,fig or some other variety. Again interesting to see them planted almost in columns but I would think they predate the golf course.
