Pros:
I must start with the fact that this course is in New Zealand. That, in itself, is awesome. The new course layout offers a different challenge on each hole. Only one flat shot and that is over water, the rest are up or down a steep hill. The course is nicely groomed, and easy to follow. The trees aren't a huge problem if you mind the wind. Vineyard background makes for a spectacular round.
Cons:
Like all of New Zealand, there are no tee pads. A lot of local players wear cleats to still get the grip a tee pad offers. Additionally, the brush is pretty hairy. While you don't have to worry about, ticks, spiders, or snakes, there are several very prickly bushes. Some suggest that you take your shirt off before going in, because the thorns are so sharp they cut through your shirt and will stick to you.
Other Thoughts:
In conclusion, great place to play, dynamic course, nice place to throw.
