The pro shop elected to let me on at 5:00pm (hooray!) and insisted that I take a cart even though I wanted to walk (understanding that it's very hilly terrain). Cart didn't have GPS and had the speed governor turned up a fair bit. That said, I'm glad they reversed their previous decision and let me out in the premium twilight hours. Was able to make it around in 2.5 hours with no one in front or behind.
This remains a really tough track - accuracy off the tee is a must, and many landing areas are obscured by hills or fairway bunkers. Plays 6300 from the white tees, which was plenty of challenge for this average golfer. Rough tangles your club up if you don't come at it steep, which is fair. The greens were recently punched (seems like a couple weeks ago) but they rolled fairly true and still fast. Lots of multi-tiered greens with wicked undulations.
Pro shop charged $40 "for 9 holes, and we need the cart back by 7:45", I think the price is a little high - peak times the fee is $80. Tee boxes were mostly level with a few funky spots.
$14 for a large bucket that doesn't even fill to the brim, that's the worst deal here. Overall, really enjoyed the challenge, hadn't played here in years and you really have to remember to focus on every shot or you'll be hacking it out of the rough.
