I heard an interview this week that stated Eagle Mountain had concave fairways so that all shots fed to the center and way from trouble. The interviewee stated that this will help with beginners enjoying the experience.
1. Has anyone played the course?
2. How concave are the fairways?
3. Is this truly a way to get people to enjoy he experience?

1.Yes
2.Yes. Very concave. Almost Punchbowl like on many holes.
3. Perhaps. Don't know if this was the architect's intent or a result of the property he was given. Scott Miller was the architect.

Agree with Steve.  It is very easy.  It is a very pretty golf course but no challenge at all.

I've heard the answer to #3 is yes on more than one occasion BTW but never from Scott Miller directly.
