is that the course with the nasty looking greenside bunker you can see from the road?

Did a tourney there two years ago and hated it. Our golfers weren't too thrilled about it.

The only things I did not like about that course...

Overpriced on the weekends

Several holes that had no imagination to them (#'s 1,2,9,15,17)

The slowest play of any course I have ever gone too. It regualarly took over 4.5 hours to play there, sometimes 5+ hours.

$6 for a large bucket balls? Are you freaking kidding me? Without a coupon I would have never hit range balls there.

Yeah, that's the course's fault.

The course design is partly to blame for it. There were a few places that people would always get bottle-necked. But with GPS tracking on the carts, there is no reason why the marshals can't prod people along that are taking forever.

The constant movement of rough, water and sand hazards made play slow going.........
