Brian,
I don't disagree it's a difficult walk but it makes the beer afterwards that much better. I do, however, disagree it calls for aerial shot after aerial shot. Granted 4, 8, and most of the 3 pars do. Hole 1 demands a running shot from the right. Holes 5, 11, 12, 14, and 17 allow a bounding ball from the left each requiring different momentum. Most holes do make you carry some of the approach but do allow for a ball to bound on to the putting surface. Great shot variety in my opinion. Last time I played it the winds were nearly 30 mph, partly thanks to all the tree removal, putting a premium on a lower ball flight and a good ground game.
Hole 4 is one of my favorites on the course. It requires you to get aggressive off the tee and get as close as possible to the middle fairway bunker, so you can get a lofted enough club to hold that shallow green. Hole 8 is a beast even with a good drive. That large backstop over the green slows down the longer club that most likely be needed to fly those front traps.
On hole 2 driver is a great option for the good player or for the average one with the right wind on the right tee box. I played with a woman, who was not long by anyone's standards, carry the fairway bunker and ride the slope down into the green side bunker. To me it's not one dimensional at all, yet the pin positions on its tiny green might be. Not sure about driver on 15.
I agree with Dan that the uniqueness of the terrain makes it a special place with strong character.
