Did you happen to notice the monitor posted at the tee box? This is in place so that individuals such as your self do not ""accidently"" drove into a group on the green. BTW did you apologize for hitting into them??? My guess is NOT.\r
One more fact for you: Cherry Hills has a 330 yard par 4 - Augusta National has a 350 yard par 4, all set up for the best players in the world. They do not consider them ridiculously short. Perhaps your bitterness is misplaced; you are responsible for your score not the golf course.
Pros: extremely friendly staff, GPS carts, great conditions
Cons: so popular difficult to secure a tee time
