#1 is perhaps the membership's favorite course to play on a regular basis. Really nice rolling terrain and very pretty property, not terribly long even from the back tees, and a pleasant playing experience. The two par-5's are indeed weak, but they play a bit too long to be par-4's that would fit in with the rest of the course. And besides, I guess that's how they keep par at 70.
#3 is yard for yard the toughest course of the nine, substantially more difficult than even #2. The greens and surrounds have a severity and complexity that is just off the charts. The front nine, which is very short, requires an extreme amount of precision into the greens as well as good distance control off the tees. The back nine is a bit more traditional, but its shot values are still very challenging. When the course is running, it is an exceptionally fun and interesting layout, and tons of fun playing it with hickories.
#5 is a total yawner. The course of absolute last resort. Pretty wide open and kinda' bland. It's laid out over nicely rolling terrain and the site does have wonderful potential, but as is it's just ordinary.
#7 Jay's pithy description is spot on. It's a good course for competitions as long as the participants are all competitive college or comparable players. This is the only course among the nine that we regularly consider taking riding carts.
#9 is a 1980's-era Jack Nicklaus course that is the centerpiece of an upscale residential community and since acquired by PCC also part of the resort and club. It's a very challenging course, tight in a number of places, and requires a great deal of precision into the greens to score well on. Worth playing at least once as it's a bit of a time piece reflective of what Nicklaus was designing back then, and there are a number of very attractive holes that incorporate large natural ponds and other native areas.
