Ed, Only a 715 yard par 6? Heck, our Kahite links course has an 808 yard par 6. We old guys play it from the whites at 586...two solid woods, a 7 iron to the back, and 2 putts for a bird today. :-)
Lagoon Legends at Bay Point, FL is the toughest course I've played...rating and slope from the back are 75.3/152. Small greens, water on almost every hole, lots of sand and jungle all around. They tell you to start with more than a dozen balls, but I only lost 3 and found more than that. Much more fun from the whites at 70.7/144.
