IIRC, it was 5 par 5's, 5 par 3's and the rest par 4's... Plenty of elevation changes requiring you to add or subtract a club...

The Turnpike was noticeable, but not distracting. Plenty of water to splash into...

Can't wait to play it again!
Actually there are SIX par 5's SIX par 4's and SIX par 3's. And the Turnpike is very noticeable and noisy with lots of tractor trailers going by. Not a great place to live. Fairways and greens are in great shape.
