The North course is now a fully opened 18-hole course. Played the new front nine when it opened, don't remember how many years ago. It is fully grown in and playing firm and fast. I remember enjoying it the first time I played it and enjoyed it again this time. The new nine was good and playable but definitely could use some growing in time. A very unique layout, it holds pretty true to a links course. Course has lots of roll, pot bunkers, sod faced bunkers, with difficult and oddly shaped greens. I had 39 putts! 6382/118 from the tips, very reasonable. 15mph steady wind all day, pretty standard out here, and it added to the challenge. The front is a little more out in front of you, the back nine I would need another crack at. Wide open fairways but you need proper lines and angles to score well. The bunkers look cool, and I wish they actually had more of them, but they can be penal, good soft sand right now. The greens are all offset and tricky. The ones on the back are super firm, even heard the thwack on chips! Front pins on those greens were borderline unfair and they were mostly on the short holes. My advice, forget the flag and aim for the middle. The GPS app I was using didn't have the back nine and all the flags were white so hard to tell what part of the green they were on. The back nine had more water, and some were slightly hidden. GolfNow has a few deal times a day, I think I paid $50 to walk with a coupon. They don't allow carts on Monday or Tuesday, and I think it is $55 to walk after 1PM on the regular website. It's flat so not a tough walk even with some extra back and forth but with the wind it tired me out. Haven't played a course like it anywhere in the area and it's a nice compliment to the south course. Worth the $50 hope it grows in nicely and they maintain it.
