I have been a member here for 16 seasons and this course is well done to replicate the actual course. Course is very playable as it only plays 6,500 yards from the member tees (blue). There are a few issues on the reproduction. There is a tree to the left of the beginning of the fairway on #6 that should be much taller. I can’t clear this tree in real life but can easily fly it here. It definitely makes the hole easier to play as it is a decent dogleg left hole. Also, the blue tees on #4 and #10 are back on the championship tee box. This definitely makes those holes play longer (especially #4 as it increases the length by almost 50 yards). This may really be an issue for the pro shop though as the yardage on the scorecards show the tees there. In 16 seasons I have played there the blue tee markers on those holes have been on the back boxes maybe 5 times. Other than that the undulation of the course and breaks on the greens are very accurate.
