Other Thoughts:
HB can be a fun place to play. It can get pretty crowded, but the flow isn't too bad.
My one issue with HB is that the course is probably the most righty biased course I've ever played. Almost all of the holes are righty hyzers, and many of those are simple righty hyzers with the lefty anhyzer being fairly technical. It's pretty ridiculous. If a lefty and a righty of equal skill were to play the course together, the righty would easily win by 6-8 strokes on average.
It probably sounds like I'm complaining, and that's fine, but I've never felt as left out during a tournament regarding a course as the tourney rounds I've played at HB, except maybe at Mt Solitude, but Mt Solitude is more fair than HB.
All in all, I enjoy playing HB, it's a fun course when it's not too crowded, and anyone visiting the LA area should make the drive and play the course.
