Not sure why I said 9 - my bad. I don't mind the greens but the ball just sails when it hits the fairway and the rough isn't rough enough to hold anything - all somewhat errant balls end up in or near the tree line. Maybe I'm just not a fan of that course. Played there 3 times without any success. Don't seem to have that problem at other courses. I don't like courses where the rough consists of a lot of hard pan thin areas (doesn't catch my bad shots)
