Not only did the group name it, it sounds like at least 2 of us were already there! Eat your heart out Mike Young.


This was a really cool site and there are plenty more great ones in China. This Discussion Group wont be able to ignore China for too much longer.

And how do you know I have not?

I'd be willing to bet I could throw a course up there that no one would get....there are plenty of small time courses in off the path places that no one on this board would get.

I did it last year, with a course in Argentina that's off the beaten track.

Carl,

That is certainly well off the beaten path... I was thinking more along the lines of average joe munis in an out-of-the way place like Utah! 

I would say that no top 100 course, or potential candidate could stump this group because they certainly know about the good ones.

I saw the course last May when only a few fairways had been planted (and only one of those pictured).  It looked like they were having trouble with the grass at the time ... from the pictures, it's clear they have overcome their issues.  The course looks even better than I thought it would.

It's an impressive piece of work, because apart from those sharp outcroppings, most of the site was entirely flat ... all of the contours you are seeing in those fairways were constructed out of fill.

Bill's course is about half shaped but there is nothing with grass on it yet.  It's up on a bluff, so I knew this wasn't it.  Sadly, our two projects still have yet to start, which is why I've got so much time to identify other people's courses.

Lets call it 3... the more the merrier.

There are others who haven't ignored it either.

Exactly! Next time I play Jawbone Creek Country Club, I will have to take some pictures and throw them up here for you all to scratch your heads over!

Are hotos the pics that Tiger took of his girlfriends?

Greg,

I have not been there but Phil Smith (Weiskopf Design) has been bragging about this one for some time. It is built so that a compilation course for tournaments can use the best holes of each 18 if I'm not mistaken. Martin Moore (Flagstick Golf), had photos of it in his newsletter he sent out a few months ago.

Tom D,

Is your site in China on the coast, or inland?

Cheers,

Kurt
