It was fun. There were only two of us, and only one of us had experience and was being competitive. Me, the non-competitive one still had fun. I am posting quite a few pictures. I had read reviews about all the stairs. All true. Pretty much every hole (and there are 18 of them) is either up a flight of stairs or down. Most have railings but some don't. As both my partner and I are older, we used our putters as canes and found something to hang onto to go up or down each step - one step at a time. There are plenty of benches and the grottos are nice breaks from the sun. The attendant was lovely and very personable. We appreciated her kind greeting. I am here on business and if I return, I would certainly come to play here again as a fun tourist activity.
