“Rolling hills keep it interesting since you rarely will have a flat lie. Fast very nice greens. An old classic layout. There's a charm here."

“Probably the best course in the city, but man what a kick in the teeth it is to play here. It is hard from the first tee shot and doesn't let up for 18 holes. There are some really good par threes and some neat fours, but I would not want to play here every day."

“A lot of uphill approach shots make this course play much longer than the scorecard yardage. Maybe one of the best logos in golf."
