Is the Red Course a good golf course?

Is the Black Course fairways bad?

This course has run it's course. The fairways on the Black Course are among the worst that you will find anywhere.

To complete the awful experience, try interfacing with the miserable old hack in the proshop who is on loan from the DMV.
