It’s definitely not worthy of having the highest green fees of any Championship course. I do very much like that as an 18 hole course there are straight t times throughout the day. I like t times between 9:30 and noon, which aren’t available at the 27 hole courses. Also, as a 18 hole track you can play 18 after 2:00 for the price of 9 instead of having to wait until the PM wave finishes making the turn, so it’s got that going for it.
Agree.

I had high hopes and expectations for this course.

I think (& will probably lose my Morse Thanksgiving Invitation)......it's time to find a new designer for TV golf courses. The current guy has been around TOO LONG and we need fresh, current, designs for new courses.
