Heavily grassed walls on sand bunkers are formidable. Mature trees and water exist, but are not in play often. Many elevation changes add to scenery and difficulty.

Nice design that has stood up for 83 years and counting. History abounds.
Anticipate many uphill shots to greens making yardages hard to get right. Very hilly. Long par threes...222, 221, 195 yards on three of four. Some long par fours as well. Grass walls on bunkers are a killer. Pray your ball stays in the sand if you are headed at a bunker.
They are working on numerous bunkers.
They run a lot of golf specials.
