First time playing the course for myself. First off, the cost was well worth the course you get. I paid $75 for twilight rate and teed off exactly at 2pm.
When you arrive, after you check in you are shuttled down via a CBGC bus down to the golf course itself and the practice range. Range probably had 15 stalls, all grass tees. Range balls are free (first course I'd ever seen this at that wasn't private). They also have 2 huge chipping greens, and 2 huge putting greens. The gal driving on the bus on the way down recommended taking a couple extra minutes putting as they were gonna be slow, around a 8 on the stimp meter.
Got warmed up and then met the starter and he walked us down to the first tee. Gave our group some tips and sent us on our way.
Now this course is NOT for the faint of heart. This course is flat out TOUGH! The waste areas can be brutal to the point where you might have to chip backwards just to get out. I got caught only one (thank goodness), but it was BRUTAL! I was 130 out and the only shot I could play was either chip sideways or skull a PW to the green. I chose the latter and put it on You can see in the pics just how big and a pain in the butt the waste areas/sand traps can be. Great views throughout the course.
I played it from the championship tees 7109 yeseterday, can play at 6988 as hole #5 has two greens, one 465 and the other at 344 from my tee box. Tips are not open to the public yet which will play at 7585. Shot 38-38. Happy, but not thrilled. Made a few stupid mistakes that may have prevented better scoring.
If anyone has any questions about the course, please fire away and I'll be glad to answer them.
Here are some pics, sorry my iPhone doesn't take 8MP quality
