What people discuss
Golfer feedback is genuinely mixed. Golf Digest reviewers consistently praise the dramatic scenery and challenging Nicklaus design, while Tripadvisor contains both enthusiastic accounts of course condition, staff, and community atmosphere and older complaints about difficulty, service, and the club's troubled post-2008 period; some negative reviews clearly predate later revitalization.
