Comments:

A very nice course design. The main water hazard is a square, which has no creativity. The Reservoir is a desert type course with rocks mixed in with it. The greyish color of the rocks, the brown color of the desert sand and the green of the grasses do not mix well. On Hole #7 your are hitting uphill to a green with a false front that slopes from front to back, which makes it impossible to hit it close to a front pin with f/f greens. On a few of the holes there is a huge bunker right in the middle of the landing area, with about 5 yards of fairway on either side of it. #9 is a shortish par 4 thats a 70-75 angle dogleg to the right. Its uphill slope will cause spin in your approach shot, however the green is a severe slope from back to front. I hit several of my approaches into the back and it spun the length of the green. I then had 40 foot putts that was 78 inches uphill. On #12, your teeing off on a hill down to the fairway below. Your approach shot is hit off of a downhill lie to a front to back green, almost immposible to stop with f/f greens. My Favorite hole was #18, a sraightaway par 4 with a green that is trouble if its missed. This was a nice course that with some minor fixing could become one of the best.
