General Review
Pros: -Different layout. Really has a links-style feel.
-Pretty good shape and enjoyable to play.
-The price is great.

Cons: -Somewhat repetitive....not much shot variety.
-Not a particularly interesting setting.

Overall Thoughts: When I had a chance to play this course with a first tee-time, I really had my expectations up. I love being the first guy on the course, and only adding to the scottish-like feel of the course was the dense fog of the morning. Unfortunately after the fog burned off, the course ended up feeling like another new public course, with not particularly special about it. The price is good, but the combination of an ordinary layout and a distant location detract from the overall score for this course. Play it if you're in the neighborhood, but don't plan your weekend around it.
What do you usually shoot for 18 holes?: 80-90
