And Buck, there are plenty of courses that use fans to keep greens cool. So be it.

Referencing Josh's question comparing Wolf Run and Victoria:

I actually find recovery options at Victoria much easier than I did in my one play at Wolf Run. At Wolf there was not as much in the way of run up options and the bail out areas are often above the hole which complicates things for a marginal ball striker such as myself.
    One thing I find very frustrating at Victoria is certain areas that are often over saturated due to the use of bent green fairways (yes I'm talking about you, front of the tenth hole!)
    Anyway my initial thoughts on Wolf is that it's harder based entirely on the fact that I shot 15 shots better at the Vic in my only play this year ;)
