I played there years ago, must be 15 years ago and it was torture. Must have lost 10 or more balls, barely hit a green, shot over 120 and had the worst day of my life on the course there.
Fair to say, I haven't been back.
My first trip to Mt Compass was a pennants match, probably 15 years ago as well... I had heard horror stories of how tough it was etc. Can't recall how many balls I went through. I do recall getting there extra early, playing 6 "warm up" holes. Then my match which was all square after 18 holes, then had to play 2 extra (sudden death) holes, which I eventually lost. So all up I played 26 holes for the day, and was totally rooted.... It's not a flat course either!
