02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

Gil Hanse’s bold redesign turned a forgettable layout into a sandy, sandbelt-style course of waste areas, big crossbunkers, and more elevation and longer views than No. 2. Golfers say it plays forgiving for average players yet hard to score on for the good ones, and some now rank it near its famous sibling.

Best forShot-makingVarietyScenery

Consistently praised

A natural, sandy waste-and-sandbelt look that golfers find a huge upgrade over the old version.
Hole variety, doglegs, and some water on 13 and 14 keep the round interesting; generous fairways mean bad shots are rarely fatal.

Worth knowing

Plays longer than the card thanks to hidden elevation, and the sandy waste areas produce unpredictable lies.

Golfers recommend

Walking is actually easier than fighting cart paths here despite the elevation.
Take extra club into elevated greens and respect the fairway-splitting waste areas off the tee.
