Other Thoughts:

This isn't a bad course and actually kind of cool but it's definitely a departure from normal east coast golf. The trees/rough is thick, it grabs discs and does not let go, you need to shape your shots to the fairways and in most spots keep them low. Knowing that and sticking to it can make this a fun course.

One big mistake I made was playing this on a hot day and in the middle of the day, the sun reflecting off the white sand baked me, I felt like a burnt loaf of bread at the end of the round. Try and catch this one in the morning if playing in the summer.

Some of the hole diagrams can be frustrating, if you're playing for the first time just walk up the fairway and find the basket, going by the signs doesn't end well.

Also bring plenty of water and bug spray, the ticks are pretty bad.
