That course actually opened on September 27th, and we played it that day. Every golfer that day was given a bag of "First to Play" swag, which was cool. Yes...the course was in extremely good shape, which was to be expected. However, I find the layout (a basic out-and-back rectangle) rather uninteresting. There is really no protection from the wind, and the day we played it was howling out of the south. That made the 425 yard #5 play like a par 5! Also, being right next to the turnpike, the noise level is extreme. So, yeah...it was fun playing the new course on opening day, but it probably won't be part of a regular rotation.
