"Beautiful, but inconsistent.
The greens were generally in great shape, although for a first-time player, difficult to read. (Because of the hills around you, there are plenty of optical illusions.)
The fairways? Hit and miss. Some were very good, but several had patches of brown and were very hard (and I had a morning tee time, so the course hadn't been baking all day!), unfortunately making for more than a few "wrist-ache" shots that didn't turn out as hoped.
It's a challenging, beautiful course, though as somebody who isn't a big fan of forced carries (psychologically, I think these tend to force us out of our normal, relaxed swings because we feel like we need to hit it harder... instead we get tense, mi sh$t and lose balls!), I had more than my fair share of frustrating tee shots.
Some of the shorter par 4s are very interesting, because good tee shots will put you in positions where you have to use different types of wedge shots. Great short-iron practice, though if you're not entirely comfortable with half- or three-quarter-swings on your wedges, you may want to consider "lay-up" tee shots, aiming the ball at distances where you can comfortably take a full swing with one of your short irons.
The rough was also a little inconsistent and sometimes *very* difficult to hit out of, and the fairway bunkers I hit were very hard. Only hit into one greenside bunker, and it was a little on the harder side, but not nearly as bad as the fairway bunkers.
Also, some of the yardages on the scorecard are incorrect, one in particular on a par 3 where the 10-yard differential meant falling short of the green instead of being right on!
Overall, an enjoyable round. I was looking for a challenge, since I'll be playing some difficult courses on vacation in Hawai'i, and this was one of the most challenging courses I've played to date."
