Cant wait to get back there.
Thanks for your post, O.B. Cuscowilla is indeed a special place.

Regarding the Augusta comparison, Masters fans who have seen the course only on TV (and therefore never been on the grounds) have no idea that it is so hilly. Some of the grades are out-and-out troubling for those unprepared for the ordeal.

Cuscowilla, on the other hand, was constructed within the contours of the land itself, contours much less extreme than those of Augusta National. Happily for those financing the project, there was a minimal need for 'earth-moving'. The result is the enthusiast's ideal: flat enough to walk every day (much like Harbour Town), yet gently rolling enough (for interest).

In fact, walking is encouraged at Cuscowilla -- with or without one of the highly-trained caddies -- and, more often than not, that is exactly the way it happens.
