If I lived within a drive of Forest Dunes, I would not have need to play it both ways on any given day. This past summer, i traveled with friends to the area, and we made certain to play it both ways. I believe we played it one way on Sunday, then played the OG on Monday morning, then the other direction on Monday afternoon.
As with most golf courses that matter, the impact for me is not immediate. I knew that what we were playing was unique, and I absolutely enjoyed every golf shot. I even enjoyed hiding under the cover, as the rains came and went. I loved the challenge of selecting sight lines, and target areas, and landing zones, and was thrilled when my golf ball found an unseen bunker.
I hope that visitors to FD take full advantage of Loop, and toss away their pencils. Keep the scorecard, of course, but don't concern yourself with marking numbers.
Knowing that we would see fairway entrances and green approaches the next day, from a different perspective, made us more aware of the entire space. Coming in from those directions on day two, recalling our previous day's route, made the second round an intellectual bonus exercise.
