Chris,
A dissenting view is a good thing, IMO. I do think, however, it would be better accepted from a position of having played the course. I don't know how you can think anything, positive or negative, about the course other than the aesthetics. It's important for a course to look good, but the reason it exists is to play good.
Go play it, then if you don't like it, come back and state why. You'll have our ear(or eyes, as it were), I promise.
Thanks,
Joe
