Would agree with Ed that it is not an unrelenting beast, and that is much of the charm, always trying to better your play on a course that doesn't yield many easy birdies. You just know you could have done better. The course drains well, and generally plays very firm and fast.
The newly renovated (2007?) golf shop and snack bar are a little more formalized than before. Still the snack shop offers only nice sandwiches, hot dogs, drinks, and snacks.
Also, on hole #4, would agree to get as close as possible, and probably need to get inside 150 yards to have a decent shot at the green. The left side of fairway is a much better angle for approach though. Even for a long hitter, you need something (hybrid/4/5 wood) drawing and going 230-240. If your drive is shorter, and you are back at a 175-200 yard approach, the second at #4 becomes very difficult.
Thanks for the photos. As we all know from TV and our photos that the elevation changes are 'flattened out.' The course has quite a bit of rise and fall as you play. But, it is not a difficult course to walk.
