Have any of you guys ever played this course? It's only about 10 minutes from my house, but I have some problems with it. I love the front 9, probably more than any other 9 around my area, BUT the back 9 holes are TERRIBLE! Even if you guys haven't played here, have you ever played a course that the front 9 is just awesome and you shoot well, but the back 9 you hate so much it alone makes your strokes go up because you know the back 9 is harder and you hate it?

You are not alone. The front nine is ok not great, but the back nine there is brutal. 10 is fine, 11 you have to aim your tee shot into the rough and hope it comes back down the hill (all luck), 12 is 100% blind of the tee (stupid), 13 the fairway is one severe side slope (stupid) 14 is what 70 yards. 15 is a ok hole, 16 is not horrible but its damn hard, 17 and 18 are fine. The whole course is gimicky, and near impossible to walk (which I hate). The people there are really nice, and its usualy in good shape, but that cannot make up for the layout for me, I avoid that place.

PM if you want to play sometime always looking for people to play with. Im a 13 cap.
