- "Incredibly challenging but fair Ross green complexes that require incredible precision in terms of putting, short game, approach shots, as well as tee shots that need length and the correct angle to setup the remaining part of the holes. All holes lined by majestic pines that never come into play unless one strikes a very errant shot. Sandy waste areas lining the fairways provide an opportunity to recover in most instances but provide great challenge as well"
