Thanks for the write up Greg----Looks like a must play. All business with a minimum of eye candy. Gotta love those fast greens. As long as they are true putting will be fun. Not too bad a score. First time on a tuff course.

Figured I would posta few pics finally.

This is the only signage for the course, I like it.

1st hole with the rugged looking bunkers.

Blind tee shot on the 2nd hole, the green is on the other side of that bunker & about 20' down.

4th hole from the elevated tee box.

This is what the restrooms on the course look like.

Messed up earlier when I said that pic was the 4th hole...it's actually the 3rd. Here's the 4th

Closer view of the bunkers surrounding the 4th.

Don't recall which hole this is

Par 5 7th hole, you can see the bare ground as a result of all the work going on to get the course ready for the 2011 US Amateur as well as a possible future US Open.

Closer view of the bunkers on that same hole.

Another big bunker

8th holes green, this was a long dogleg left par 4 with the tee shot uphill. No way could I hit the green in 2 so I was forced to layup in front of that middle bunker. This green had a real nasty slope to it

16th hole, a short par 3 that's actually easy if you can keep your drive straight.

One of the bunkers surrounding that hole.

Another view of those same bunkers.

From the 18ths tee box, 620 yards from the tee's I played. Not shown on this pic but directly above the clubhouse you can see the steeples of the Holy Hill monastery. The aiming point is directly between the steeples & the original scorecard had the distance from the back tee's listed at 666 yds. they changed it to 660 yds now.

You love sand traps so this course is right up your alley. It is a very nice course & is only going to get better once all the new grass grows in. And not a single house on the course, just the way a true golf course should be.
