I bought a groupon to play there - I think it was like $60 for two people including carts. My friend and I arrived and it was overcast, threatening to rain, and probably around 12 degrees. Based on the conditions, we weren't sure we'd get a round in, and the parking lot was empty when we arrived. Never seen that before.
But we golfed. Course was in decent shape, and the rain held off except for a couple 3 minute sprinkles. After the round, we walked into the proshop and asked (since there was no one on the course) if they'd let us play another 9 for free. They said go ahead. That made a half-decent day of golf into a memorable one. Basically a buck a hole including cart, never being pushed from behind, and never waiting on any shot.
I say it felt gimmicky because it seemed like half of the holes were driveable par 4s - 230-250 yard range. My driver wasn't consistent that day and I would have been better off playing two short iron shots and playing it like a par 4, but the temptation was too great and I hurt myself a lot with bad drives.

Agreed that it felt a little gimmicky. Like they just didn't have quite enough land to lay out a full course. As long as you go expecting to almost never hit your woods, then you'll be fine. It does test your game in a much different way from usual, which I guess is not necessarily a negative.
