On the Golf Channel, Nick Faldo was asked something about the low scores and he commented something to the effect that "this is what you expect when tour players play on resort courses".

What is the main difference between "Resort course" vs. typical PGA Tour course?

I've played at PGA West, Nicholaus course and the LaQuinta Dunes courses, and the Westin LaCantera Palmer course vs. their Resort course (site of the PGA Valero Open...I was told they play there instead of the harder Palmer course because there's little or no access and viewing area from the Palmer course).

I must admit, they were wide open and I was limited by my own bad shots....I guess the courses I've played on where the PGA plays are considered 'resort courses'?.....so what would be considered strictly PGA tour courses, the TPC courses?

Speed/firmness of the fairways and greens, mainly.

More generous fairways and shorter rough ? I'm guessing, though. Some of the greens this week look pretty tricky and quick to me.
