How's this for a front nine? 4 3 5 3 4 3 5 5 3
Followed by a back nine of 4 5 3 5 5 4 4 3 4
That's the layout at Mississippi Dunes in Cottage Grove, Minn., a course Dan Kelly and I used to play a lot when it first opened a few years ago.
The course designer tried a lot of different things with that course, including building up most greens into flat-topped mesas. Some of it works, some of it doesn't, but it is different.
