My problem with the place is that it doesn't appear good for matchplay. I have no idea whether it is good or bad architecture, but there doesn't appear to be a lot of risk/reward shots. Imagine if they were playing the River course at Blackwolf Run. Having one player challenge the other by going for the green on 8 (Els eagled it once in the old Anderson tourney), 9, 11, 14, 15 or 16, with disaster lurking would be tremendous. Seeing what Davis or Tiger would do if the other player put it in the wrong part of the green on 4, 10, 13, 17, etc. would be great. Here, there doesn't appear to be any of this gamesmanship.
