Classic Club really is a nice course. So many courses in palm are in amongst houses, I really appreciate the ones without houses even more.

Classic Club was in fantastic shape. Greens were smooth as glass and lightning fast. I was only in a couple bunkers, my partners were in a bunch more, and they were fantastic to play out of. Course had a great layout, really appreciated the variety of holes and the layout. Solid par 3s. Great practice range, short game area and putting greens. The facility is really top notch.
BUT... I really didn't like it. The way the course is set up it's way too penal, especially for first timers. I hit three tee balls that landed in the fairway and then watches the ball roll off the slope, through the shaved dormant Bermudagrass rough into the water. It wasn't like I was getting cute at cutting off the hazard, these were straight shots into what looked like the heart of the fairway. Given a second chance, I wouldn't have chosen a different line off the tee. Really makes the course a lot narrower than it is.
Twilighting at Firecliff tomorrow teeing off at 2pm. Hope to get most of the back 9 in. Gets dark here at 5:15 with the mountains to the south and west.
