I found the course to be in fairly good shape, but the current condition (hard, because they're new), and design (domed) of the greens does not reward any type of shot (even a good one), and severely punishes bad shots. I'm a 7 handicap, and was routinely frustrated by high flying soft landing wedges that wouldn't hold the green - they just bounce, then run off.
The greens did run true and fast for putting, and the fairways were good. Once you were off the green though, the entire band around the green was bare hardpan making any type of chipping very difficult.
I'm guessing that this course will be much better next year (after the greens have softened a bit and the grass around the greens grows back), but for now I think I'll play elsewhere.
