A group of 8 visiting from Dallas in early June. First, wow, the weather was super-mild, low 80's for highs. Very appealing contrast to low 100's in DFW. All three courses are terrific and in immaculate condition. Thank goodness because the greens fees are breathtaking -- starting at $260 pp + cart and going up for the South course. And really, the caddy program is simply ridiculous, $25 per player + a "recommended" gratuity of $150 per foresome. Yikes! South course is just tough 1-18; North course is fair and features significant elevation changes and lots of water hazards. Don't skip the Fazio course. Maybe the most intereresting of the three.

If you stay on site, lodging is interesting. The Villas are great as long as you have a group of 8 and can reserve a complete villa. Otherwise, you share the "common area" with other guests. The lodging in the main clubhouse is strictly gentlemen only in rooms off the men's locker room. So....just saying...for a guys golf trip is would be AWESOME. The private bar in the men's locker room is open until 1:00am. What could possibly go wrong....

Best part of the experience? The staff! They are invariably genuinly happy to see you and it shows.

This one is definitely a bucket-list finalist for any serious golfer.
