I'm also thinking that I swap out 1 and 2 to be 10 and 11 respectively.  The flow to 3 and 12 would work a little better, and you save the epic "sand belt" nature of #2 for later on in the round as that hole looks to play thru Nebraska and eastern Colorado! :)

Suggestions of this nature should be written on a $100 bill and mailed to the architect.

I was kind of hoping to see a $100 bill coming my way.  Free advice ain't exactly free anymore these days!! 

Besides that routing change would save at least $10 mill in cart path construction expense alone.  ;)

Sorry Bill,

I'm not a mind-reader. This is post #27, so #35 still seems to be aways off yet!  ;D

I'm sure the alternate 9th green was an afterthought so you can avoid New Jersey...


P.S.  I am so happy to learn that hitting CTL + makes the screen bigger! Now how do I make it smaller? :)

That is one big downhill driving range.You did a nice job avoiding the uninspiring prairie of Dallas!

Avoiding NJ may have been a subconscious reaction. Apologies to Matt Ward.

I have mine done. I just need to color it in so you can tell what's what. Hopefully sometime tomorrow. I will say that it took me an hour to come up with a routing I like. I used a map that had a lot more rivers, which made it hard!

Those last 3 holes are feeling/looking kind of redundant!!   :P

People love ocean holes & cape holes.  So the masses would think this has the best finishing three ever.

I think it's cool.  I agree that 16-17-18 is repetitive, but hey, it's not real, so we can cut him some slack for originality.  Great stuff, Forrest.
