1. Exclusivity.
2. 21 holes.
3. Privacy.
4. Elevation changes.
5. Mount Alice (just go and see!)
6. Great people (Phil, family, and friends!)

1. Grip lock will punish you. The rough is VERY rough. Wear some boots.
2. Lack of any real "LONG" holes.

I remember Phil and friends talking about this new course being built on Phil's property like 20 years ago at Tendick leagues. It took me until today to finally say "OK. I'm make the drive." Dude - it was worth it. I tossed -4 (1 bogey / 5 birdies), but I used every shot I had in my bag.
Mountainside pin placements
Interesting OB and Mando's.
Hanging basket
"Funhouse" basket (with electricity!)
Every one of these baskets caught well, and I was tee'ing off concrete at every hole. What more do you need?
This is a very in-depth review - sorry. I just got home and I'll be thinking about this round, digesting it for a while now.
Phil and his brother played along and showed me all the routes. That helped.

I think this is my new favorite course. I can't wait to head back.
