Thanks to Mark's generosity, I was able to visit Sutton Bay last week as I was driving across the country toward Montana for a wedding. While this was my first trip and had never seen the original course (so I can't compare), I thought the "New" Course was fantastic. The course sits on the bluff above the old course allowing for incredible views across the lake and the various ravines, while directly exposing the player to the natural elements (I played in a 2-4 club wind as a front rolled in). The course plays very firm and fast with a lot of humps and bumps through, around, and in the greens which make approach and shots around the greens a lot of fun. Despite originally being a fairly flat site (according to this and other threads), I thought the shaping looked very natural and there was a fair amount of natural up and down movement on the back nine holes. Personally, I loved the par-3's and thought they were the standouts. The 5th hole is an awesome short par-3 with a wicked green, the 7th is a fun long one-shot hole that I needed a driver (and was still 40 yards short of the green), and the 17th is a pretty epic par-3 with it's skyline green. There is a lot of variety in the par-4's, with two very interesting and reachable 4's...one on each side (the 4th and 11th). The par-5's are neat, with the 3rd and 18th being my favorites. Overall, the golf course is really good and well worth the trip out to South Dakota for a visit.
