Review Summary:
Overall, this is a challenging course with good combination. Though fairways are reasonably tight, off track shots could be diaster. Strongly reccomend to warm up before rush to the first tee or step down to the white if you are not in a good form......

Course Design
Another Nelson & Harworth designed mountain course with roller coaster like change of elevation. Plus a couple of Nelson’s typical frightening holes.e.g. Hole #12 an upslope Par 4 which measures exceed 480 yards from the blue. The course features with reasonably tight landing area, long carries teeshot is required frequently, less water hazards, average number of bunkers, semi island green, small greens with not much room of error. A tough test but interesting.

007’s Rating
Overall, this is a challenging course with good combination. Though fairways are reasonably tight, off track shots could be diaster. Strongly reccomend to warm up before rush to the first tee or step down to the white if you are not in a good form.
The course is mature and there are some scenic holes despite of the lamp post in front nine. For the most beautiful hole, my vote go to Hole #18. Unfortunately, I was playing in a foggy and raining day which affected the scenery.
As a conclusion, I would give them an Eagle 05/2008
