Ken:
I hope I don't come off as knocking Lawsonia -- it's probably my favorite course to play (but I also live 1-1/2 hours away, so it's pretty accessible to me).
I have played it several times in recent years, and although the course itself is in terrific condition, there are times when the green speeds seem a tad slow, and thus the "terror" -- for lack of a better word -- that comes into play when you face one of those big internal slopes with faster green speeds sometimes doesn't come into play. Fun, yes, and really enjoyable, but there is a side of me (as I suspect there is for alot of folks who post here) who like be terrorized every once in a while.
And I'd argue -- although of course this may be selective memory -- they seemed faster 15-some years ago when I first started playing the course. They did seem a bit more scary back then, so much so that it could impact your judgement on approach shots, i.e., don't leave it there or you'll putt the ball off the green/never get it close to the hole (ala examples cited in the Cyrstal Downs thread). I haven't gotten as much sense of that in recent years (although candor prompts me to admit I haven't been able to play it this year, so I'm glad to hear of reports from the field about their speed!) That doesn't diminish the enjoyment of the round, but I think there are some reduced chances of facing terror-filled putts on greens. That's a highly individualistic view of whether that makes one's round still enjoyable. It still is, but just wishing for a few moments of those.
