As promised, here's a couple of photos of the Strand course. They're not great photos, as I just snapped them as I was making my way along the 11th on the old course.
This is the view from the first tee. I believe it's a 420 yard par 4.
Here's a picture of the 9th green, looking back down the fairway. I only had a quick look at this green, but the slope in from the left looked fairly severe.
If you're reading this Tom Doak, how do the Strand greens compare to the Valley greens? The 4th and 5th greens (now holes 12 and 13) in the Valley have wicked slopes, but the other greens are quite tame in my opinion.
