I read where they are averaging 275 rounds/day so it must not be too bad of a course.
What you have to realize that some people are chronic whiners and complainers…….This forum is full of them !! They would complain even if Jack Nicklaus picked them up personally in a limo and took them to the course and spent the day with them !

That said, I have played the course twice now and could not agree with you more ! It’s a beautiful layout with lots of challenges for every level depending on the tee box played from….

Sure, it needs a little time to mature a little for obvious reasons but the great thing about it is that no one is forced to play it !

If you choose NOT to play based on the report of these Debbie Downer whiners then you are missing an opportunity to judge it for yourself.

And those that DO want to play it will thank you for creating additional tee times to choose from !
