Tony - Opinion seems very mixed. It has some supporters with the changes and a -6 score for 72 holes seems the result 'they' wanted. I liked Wentworth because of the 5 5 finish, someone could pick up 4 shots, it was good for TV, you could even bugger the last couple up, that seems to be taken away now because if your in contention they lay up at 18 even after last years revision.... to fix it perhaps the hole needs playing 25 yards shorter. Whatever the water still does not look right to my eye.
I don't like 8 or 12 if I am honest, the rest is probably better than before. So 15 out 18 are probably better. I dont think it was a brilliant golf course before, Sunningdale is a league ahead IMO but modern tournament golf seems to want courses where long holes rule over the ones this site cares for.
Peter Alliss made a comment that you used to be able to run it in at 9 holes before the change...now its all aerial.
I have heard its much more difficult now to play and for a mid handicapper its very hard bordering unenjoyable, but a lot of new courses are like that and basically Wentworth is a new course.
