I talked to the attendant a bit afterwards as he was asking about the round. I told him that I expected the course to be similar to the Springbank back nine which is mostly flat with some contouring. The attendant told me that the land started out pretty flat and they did a lot of work to shape the course. In my opinion they went too far. It is fun and challenging but I see it more as a course you would want to play once or twice a year as opposed to regularly with a membership.

You haven't played heritage pointe then have you haha. Talk about bad lies.
When we were at Mickelson on the long weekend they had the greens a bit long so we did not find the issues you had. Were they very fast?
I only find the greens difficult if they are crazy fast and undulating but at the expensive of reception. Like Serenity when you can land a 9 iron shot on the front of the green and it rolls off the back..
