The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A bold, polarizing P.B. Dye target course of mounds, waste areas, bulkheads, and severe run-offs, often called one of the toughest in the area.
Consistently praised
- Golfers praise the dramatic Dye stadium look: deep bunkers, bulkheads, sculpted mounding, and the famous short par-4 16th with "Hell's Half Acre."
- Strong players enjoy the strategic, target-golf demands where precise approaches matter more than length.
Worth knowing
- The penal run-offs and waste areas frustrate higher handicappers, and some find the design contrived; it is shorter than it feels, with difficulty in placement, not yardage.
Golfers recommend
- Play a set of tees forward of your usual and prioritize fairways and the correct part of greens.
- Best taken as part of a Legends stay so you can pair it with the more playable Heathland.
