Yes, I know the scorecard says the 25th, just go with me here. New course back in the rotation, I haven’t put up a review yet, but here’s some highlights of the course:
-Large greens, at least 8 yards longer and/or wider than Ancil’s. Plus the greens have contours and sidehill putts.
-Course is 300 yards shorter, plus there’s much more wind.
-The fairways aren’t tight per se, but there aren’t bailout areas on the course. There are some forced layups (Nos. 1, 3, 6, 10, 16 & 18) which break it up a bit so as not to go into a creek or man-made lake.
As for today’s round, I ended up +4 on the last 3 holes. My 5-wood on 16 took a bad bounce and went into the right side lake. And I forgot to hit a 3-wood off the 18th, so my drive went long and messed up approach. Though it’s a par-5 with a creek cutting through the fairway, with a nice tailwind, it is reachable. 28 putts with two birdies on the back kept me in the game, but missed another couple of birdie putts on Nos. 2 and 7.
