The way they were able to incorporate 18 holes so nicely in this small amount of land is astounding.
Fun factor is very high even though it is very tight and technical. A few easy holes make you feel like a rockstar on good days.
The crew that keeps making this course better, well, everytime i go back its better. even though 10 times ago it was great.
very shaded throughout making it a favorite on those hot days even though i have 6 - 4+ star courses way closer to home.

First couple times you play it can be confusing as with any new course. We walked it first and avoided all the confusion. Pro tip; the course plays counter clockwise. except holes 13 and 14 play clockwise. so after 12 you walk past 15 teepad and reverse direction.
a few signs for next tee could eliminate this confusion and have no doubts this will happen soon.

So just to be clear I rate courses on 2 factors. Fun and big boy. Big boy means you play the par on the sign, not everything par 3. Somedays i want idlewild, some days i want to have fun. This course is fun. Like belmont, simsbury, gulley park are fun. Don't get me wrong, this course is technical. but if you are hitting your lines you will leave here with a big bundle of confidence.
