Review
“A good course with interesting greens and some difficult holes, especially the par 3s. You need to be able to move the ball in both directions off the tee to optimally play the course."

“NCR South was the site of the 1969 PGA Championship and has hosted five USGA championships since that time. My overriding takeaway from playing the course is that a player would be well suited to be able to curve the ball in both directions off the tee as the holes often call for shots to either fade or draw to avoid overhanding trees of fairway bunker placements. I also played with a very long plus handicap. His lines off the tee were quite a site, often playing over trees that were intended to force a player to maneuver the ball. Very difficult par three holes, but especially the 15th. Significant slopes on the greens on many holes, make ball placement critical, as you cannot get above the hole off the green here, or even sometimes on the green. A fun and challenging course."

“May be the best Dick Wilson course I have played. The natural setting of routing and green sites are very well done. Not a bad hole on the golf course."

“There is a wide variety of holes within the course, featuring uphill, downhill and sidehill holes on parts of the course, while several holes feel flat, in comparison to the elevation changes elsewhere on the course. Back to back par-5s on the front nine are quite unique and both showcase the tremendous variety of holes and elevation changes on the course. In addition to the elevation changes, an array of doglegs, varied distanced par-3s make this course fun and extremely challenging for all levels of golfers."

“Solid layout variety between the direction of the par 3's and par 5's as well as the clubs one will use throughout the round. Diverse elevation changes throughout the property used by the designer. One is challenged at several holes w/ iron shots to narrow greens framed artfully by penal bunkering....11 comes to mind as a green that challenges the 10th at Riviera for width and shock value. Challenge may be a bit much in spots for higher handicap players. Course is surprisingly a bit under the radar despite having hosted the 1969 PGA, 1998 US Mid-Am, 1986 US Womens Open, and the 2005 US Senior Open"

“Old style, tree-lined Dick Wilson golf course which requires precision shot making. Greens can be severe if you are on the wrong side of the pin."
