What people discuss
Public sentiment is favorable overall but somewhat limited. Google-review aggregations emphasize the mountain setting and club environment, while Golf Digest's historical architectural commentary is more critical of the original Nicklaus design; member-facing testimonials strongly praise conditioning, service and camaraderie, so outside golf-design opinion is more mixed than the club-lifestyle feedback.
This is what people commonly say about this Club in public reviews and articles, not a member survey or a rating from us. Weigh it alongside the facts above, not in place of them.
