Many holes require course management, and good shot selection. Most of the greens are not much larger than a postage stamp, making for difficult targets to hit. Some will find the hole routing to be confusing. The holes seem to criss-cross each other. There is a long seperation between holes making Hunter's Ridge Golf Course a beast to walk.
