I like the drama of 18 and the inviting nature of 1. Must have a thing about downhill openers and uphill closers...

The only drive I felt was blah was 12. Nothing much going on across that ground.

I very much liked 11, especially the siting of the green, but feel it would be a much better hole if we could get a look at the green off the tee.

Hey, is 11 some kind of template hole? I ask because beechtree's 10th, which I believe you have played, looks very similar, at least off the tee, yes? (I recall tom doak somewhere mentioning that hole as inspired by somewhere else, although that somewhere else most certainly was not SPCC.)

 8)

draw, fade, straight.. lots of shots there!  we've always opened trips to that area at SPCC..

i remember when the trees on 7 weren't that big.. since they're not in play.. and not as big a deal from back of tees.. why the issue?  I don't consider it much a of a redan, as its stuck into that hill..

11.. template for a bowl topography?  I wouldn't cut the trees back on the right... opens the hole for non-faders..

12's drive is all about set-up for approach .. precise execution.. can you put it center left but not far left?  p.s. did you notice the Cardinal hole and tee to the north of 12's green?

17's allure on drive to me has always been can you draw it down the hill but not run it into the rough or fade it against the hill and not get stuck on right, requiring low controlled fade into green.. when pressure is on..

lov that place!
