What people discuss
Independent golf feedback is highly favorable overall. 18Birdies reports about 4.9/5 with strong condition marks, while Golf Digest's smaller architecture panel is more measured, praising the MacKenzie character and recent restoration but noting that several short par fours feel constrained. The combined signal is excellent member-golfer satisfaction and conditioning, with more mixed architectural opinion on a few holes.
