I saw this course when the Nationwide Tour was wrapping up on it a couple of years ago. Looked pretty interesting. I recall a drivable par-4 midway through the back and then there was a hole on the front nine, a dogleg left where the second shot played over a ravine, that he said could play as drivable too by moving the tees way up, and one of the advantages of this would be that it faced in a different direction than the one on the back so at least one of them would be tempting.
Also, CDW sponsors the tour, and there are a ton of ads with the CTO of the PGA which air during each event. The first few times I saw these ads I thought he may have a lazy eye. Now I think he's just lazy - he appears to read from a card or teleprompter for the first part of the ad. Only on the second part has he memorized the short line. I mean Jesus, people memorize entire scripts and this guy can't memorize a couple of lines?
At least this year's campaign is marginally less terrible than last year's, which featured the guy on the beach (who is allegedly CDW's owner, but maybe not, who knows) hitting a golf ball around while his minions crowd around a webcam to chat with him about time critical issues. Awful.
