Its a Jack Nicklaus design and 9 holes have been opened at this point.  It will probably be another 2-3 years before the other 9 holes open.  The course was part of a HUGE housing development that has gone cold.  I was out there a few weeks ago and I believe they said that the development was laid out for several thousand homes and they have sold about 50-75.  I'm pretty sure the course itself was sold sometime last year and it may currently be owned by a bank.  I don't remember all the details, but I do know that it has been troubled for a while now. 

I played the 9 holes they had and enjoyed them.  The greens were at bit over the top on some holes, but aside from the fact that its not easy to walk I found that the holes are pretty decent.
