    I'm just an average TL and I hoped to make par as it is a new course and my first time on it. Hit -5, (missing 3 fairly easy eagle/birdie putts), which was very satisfactory for me but is an indicator of how guys/gals can hit in the 50s

    Didn't realize it was going to be ready today but saw it this morning.

    I was at work and generally don't play here, very choppy meter but thought I would give it a try just so I could take some course notes.

    Wasn't shooting for a score, hit it in the deep stuff and traps a few times just to see how it played.  However I was able to make 2 eagles and 6 biridies.   I didn't post as I also made a couple of triples experimenting with shots.

    It appeared to me from my first time on the course that it can be taken.    There are 3 par fives and a par four that can be driven so there are eagle chances there for sure.   I only saw one or 2 holes that presented little birdie opportunity so I would suggest that a score of 55 will be needed to make the cut.

    Greens are a little strange, false fronts, some mounds but nothing that can't be overcome with solid iron shots.   Putting didn't seem any more difficult that normal.
