Course History:
Robert Trent Jones designed this idyllic course and it was later renovated by its current owner, Ty Warner. This is an award winning course that has many distinctions and has been honored by Golf Inc. Magazine. It is easy to see what all the hubbub is about - this is one course that is absolutely magnificent. You'll feel as though you've been transported to a whole different world while you're here.
What You Need to Know:
Please note that this is a soft spike facility. The course management asks that all players change out their spikes before arriving. In addition, there is a dress code that all players must observe. For the men, collared shirts and slacks are best, but shorts may be worn as long as they are no shorter than mid thigh. For the women, collared shirts are a must, but they can be sleeveless. Shorts and skirt may be worn so long as they are not shorter than mid thigh in length. Denim is strictly prohibited for all players.
The pro shop is terrific and players of all ages will appreciate the club house. Overall, the amenities, coupled with the amazing views make this one of the best courses in the region. This is definitely a course to add to your list of "must play's." The practice facility is extremely large and is located in the middle of the course. You'll have plenty of room to work on your drives and putts (both necessary) before you head out to the course.
Playing Hints:
The holes here are pretty straightforward and you won't have to deal with too many water hazards or bunkers. The main issue with this course are the hills and the greens. Jones commented that they were some of the best he had ever built, so you'll definitely want to work on your short game before you arrive.
The key to playing this course successfully is a long drive. You won't have to worry so much about placement on most of the holes, just try to keep to the center of the fairway. The longer you can drive the better your scores are going to be. However, as mentioned above, don't forget your short game either. The greens at this course look a sea that has suddenly been frozen in mid wave, and it's going to take a lot of accuracy to keep your score low.
The rough here is extremely rough and you may feel as though you're here in the old days when grizzly bears called this their home. You'll need to really make sure you keep out of there since they can quickly turn a good game into a complete and total nightmare. We do highly recommend renting a cart for this course to make it easier.
