The only short coming was the older Marshal on 7/14/10. He was asked to mention to a 3some 2 groups in front of our 4some to please keep pace. He refused. Therefore we waited on every tee box from the 6th hole on, as did the 4some in front of us. Our round took 5hrs and 10mins on a non-busy day. Please enforce, playing 'ready golf'. Will be back for sure just because the course is terrific and the greens are fast. A far better deal than Chambers Bay. Loved this course.

(you could see the old 12th tees, and it looked like the change was made because tee balls from the old 12th could go screaming over the heads of golfers on the old 11th tee. now the 12th will be a new par 3 - the green isn't ready yet - and i'm guessing the temporary 12th will disappear. unfortunately that will still leave a long walk, this time to the 13th tee. frankly, i think the course would be better if they could find some place for 2 new holes, and drop the existing 11 and 12 altogether. a thoroughly enjoyable walk. cheers, nocurling just played the home course last thursday, and LOVED it! i’d go back there in a flash. in great shape, and marvelous aesthetics. we played from the blues (~6500 yards), but your descriptions of where to play work for that yardage as well.
