Teeing at 1p shouldn't have been too late to have service all the way through IMO. Service was generally very friendly, the lone disappointment not seeing the cart girl even ONCE on the back nine, and that after my bro kicked her a nice tip on the front hoping to ensure we saw her again. Finished easily in under 4 hours and never had anyone slow us down though we thought it was gonna happen because of multiple larger groups ahead of us. Again, perfect white and soft, but just 'heavier' than it looks. The ONE note i'd say about them is it was almost odd how 'heavy' the sand felt. They 'looked' a lil more dried out than everything else around, but they were soft and holding all good shots.īunkers were gorgeous white sand and consistent in every one I visited, which was more than I should have. Greens showed trace signs of the most recent hold punch but rolled absolutely perfectly, fast but smooth as silk.

Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all PERFECT condition. Fairways felt a little tight on a few holes but I'm sure once you get multiple rounds under your belt it's pretty easy to navigate because there really is plenty of room off the tee and generally lush rough to save leaking shots from straying too far off track. Still, I probably left at minimum of 6 strokes out there that were mistakes easily correctable once you have basic course knowledge. I paired his tips with a google earth view of each hole and really felt about as prepared as you can be for a course like this. Someone posted a great 'tip' on GK for EVERY SINGLE HOLE and that read was absolutely INVALUABLE. Layout is creative, undulating and picturesque, but still straight forward with the exception of maybe 5-6 holes that will have you guessing a little the first time through.

Speaking of, probably the best overall practice areas I've ever seen, three distinctive areas for putting, chipping and full swing, all immaculate. It's a 'target' style course in some ways where left and right are lost ball on most or all holes and the fairways feel a little tight at times, but with that said, it's an absolute must play IMO.Ĭonditions overall: Journey is the very epitome of a high end 'resort' course, where nearly every blade of grass from edge to edge, putting green, chipping green, driving range and course, is lush deep green perfection. This course is stellar and absolutely gorgeous. Played Journery from the blacks at 1p with my bro on a gorgeous but windy day.
