There’s something very nostalgic about this golf course and I love it. It’s easy to get excited about playing a MacKenzie course but once you get there you get a greater appreciation for how this course was built and the inspiration that went into Augusta. He uses the land amazingly and doesn't try and make it terribly difficult for newer golfers, but the greens and bunker positions are what can kill you on this course. But have fun because this is the only golf course that almost makes you feel like you’re in a different time.

Any serious golfer would rank this in their top 5 in the world. The creativity and design is unmatched. You could play it 100 times and never have the same putt. The green complexes are extraordinary.

Unbelievable afternoon at Pasa. Was fortunate to play Pebble a couple weeks ago and thought it’d never be topped, but then I played here. Great test and my first Mackenzie. Best course I’ve played so far - can’t wait to go back.

It is a beautiful and challenging course. The front 9 probably to warm you up but the back 9 definitely a challenge for every single hole. Tricky and character, you have to plan tour hot before teeing off as you will get into the trap and sand bunker easily. Putting still manageable except on hole 18 par 3, you better put close to the pin as it will easily roll out of green! It was a fun but tired after 18 holes !
