For the longer hitters, the black tees are in the process of being lengthened to over 7,000 yards. There are hazardous areas throughout the course that will attract you golf ball if you are not careful, so accuracy is always at a premium. A regular commented that "GPS or yardage books would be a good idea for this course because of the tricky course layout". That said, another thing that could be improved is adding more hole signs. Until then make sure you refer to the map on the back of the scorecard during your round.
Newcomers will likely struggle with where to place their tee shots with the countless doglegs and blind shots. You really appreciate the course more the 2nd time. The 15th hole is an example of the potential confusion out here. It is an interesting Par 5 with a double dogleg and a green that is guarded by trees, most golfers will be more than happy with a par (or even bogey). Keep your tee shot towards the left side of the fairway if you want a chance to get close to the green in two otherwise you will be forced to lay up. There were many unique holes on this course, so most players will enjoy the layout.
Hole #9 is a signature hole that measures 147 yards and the tee shot heads downhill across a pond. Make sure you take enough club to get over the water because the hole looks somewhat shorter from the tee box. If you can manage a par, you played the hole well and avoided the trouble areas. The other signature hole is #16, which is a 146 yard Par 3 with a carry over water and a wall built out of old railroad ties. There is no room to bailout on this hole, but make sure that you stay away from the bunker and wall to the left of the green. Bring your camera with you to this course because there are several memorable holes that will likely remain so for years to come.
