This is one of the ones I'd played before. My folks are from that neck of the woods so this is one of the places I learned to play the game.

First two holes are straight up the hill - a real struggle - but flat enough once you're up there. Short course, small greens, whins everywhere, some great views; not for everyone but I like it.
