More highly regarded?
What rating would you give it on the Doak Scale?
Granted, I have not played it...so I am asking, for those who have played it, why does it fly under the proverbial radar?
From the pictures (from the club website) and according to people I know who have played it, it "looks" like a Doak 8 or even 9....am I completely off base?
It looks EPIC from the pictures, so I can only imagine what it looks like in person. As I look at pictures of Shinny, Merion, Fisher's...Eastward Ho! "looks " like it should be in the same company, although clearly it is not in terms of rankings.
I am not simply looking for the negatives, but more to give it praise. I am playing Shinny and Eastward Ho! next summer, so maybe I can answer this question with ACTUAL knowledge

..... But, Eastward Ho! sure seems like it competes with many of the best...maybe not Augusta, Shinny, NGLA, Cypress, Oakmont, Sand Hills & Pac Dunes....but is sure seems like it would be in the next grouping.
Thoughts??? Am I insane?
