Pros:
3 tees per hole (white tees on the way for 2013) / rubber on gold - gravel elsewhere
- better use of available elevation
- uses more terrain off the XC ski trails
- benches at most tees
- easy navigation, good "intuitive flow" to most next tees, signs where necessary
Cons:
not much "risk vs. reward"
no bag hooks? (okay, that's nit-picky)
Other Thoughts:
This great new layout still uses the same area, and even uses some of the same old pin locations. But even where those are used they are almost unrecognizable now. The strength of this redesign is in better thought out fairways, and an amazing set of tee pads. There are now memorable or signature holes that can make a round more interesting (or challenging).
