The course can be somewhat challenging from the tips. Once you get a sense for the trickery the course designer was going for though, the course can be mastered. Skipping it accross the lakes is the key to playing holes 3 and 11. The par 5's have shortcuts, just locate the trees with split trunks and aim high over them. The greens when rolling quick are fantastic. Swing hard and you can shoot even par no problem... swing like a girl and you have no chance.
