As a Mountaineer I can tell you that every course in the state has 9 uphill holes and 9 downhill holes. I remember one we called "the goat farm" where I had to try to land my drive TWO fairways above the green I wanted to wind up on so that the ball could bounce down to my green. Them's some serious mountains, folks! Of course, in Florida, sand traps are easy to build; just don't plant grass there and you have a sand trap. I look forward to playing at The Villages when we rent in January-March 2015. We'll be off No. 5 green on Rainbow Drive of the Silver Lake course.
