I've stayed at 5-star hotels and played many top clubs, but none have had a more gracious and friendly staff than the people at Muirfield Village. The course often meets the first time golfers' high expectations, but rarely exceeds it due to the prestige, history, and high ranking. The conditions are impeccable and as good as courses can get. The river that runs through the course is one highlight, but the real highlight are the pure greens with enough contours to make the greens interesting, but nothing too severe that it is questionable. When firm and fast the greens are as difficult as any course you've ever played.
