I am proposing this as a course for discussion, since I feel many on here have played it, but I read precious little about it before playing it last weekend, and I was thoroughly impressed, especially with the challenging simplicity of the greens. A few points:
-My least favorite of the holes on the Main Course was the 16th. I found the green to be of interest, but the fact that there was no bailout and no room for a run-up, with fescue all way to the front edge, somewhat irked me. This would be quite all right at 150, but the par three is a full 185 from the tips, into the wind. With such a tiny green, I found that the demands of the hole were too stiff
-As the most underrated hole, I select two consecutive holes: four and five. Number four would be hard to overrate, and it is, in fact, my favorite hole on the property. From the neat pulpit tee fronted by a ravine, to possibly the smallest green I've seen on a non-par-three hole, the hole is brilliant. It has so many options for a hole of just 335.
Number five is different story, as it is 100 yards longer than four, but with a combination of a blind tee shot over a rocky mound and a steeply pitched green from right to left, it is unique from any hole I have played.
-The only change I know enough about to regret is the elimination of the cinder racetrack around nos. 1 and 18, especially the crossing of the track in front of the final green. Even a partial restoration might bring back character to a relatively bland opening hole.
