Other Thoughts:

Challenging 9 holes with 3 tee pads -- Red, Blue, and Green.

Red is short but challenging. Blue is long and challenging. And green is long and challenging. The 9 holes are a great mix of wooded and open holes: 1, 2, 4, and 9 are open with guardian trees, the rest are heavily wooded at distances ranging 200-400ft with interesting elevation.

Multiple tee positions make playing 18 or 27 a fun endeavor with little repetition and provide a chance to get that lie you need to put up a birdie or scrounge par.

Hole #1 Red is an uphill shot of 235', iirc, but it plays about like 350' because of the uphill basket and sloped, natural grass tee. Blue 1 is a monster uphill shot that plays about 400'. Green changes perspective and creates a slanted uphill shot over a sloped gully that is tough to judge.

Hole #2 is an open but guarded shot from all tees. Guarded well by an arc of evergreens, the basket is tucked under a maple tree about 200' from red, 280' from blue, and well over 300' from Green. It's another uphill shot, so it plays further than the numbers. Red & Blue are par 3 - Green is a par 4 all with natural grass pads.

Hole #3 is a nasty (and short) little dogleg right from Green and Blue, drive your roller through a wall of trees for a shot at birdie, or throw a rh flick/anny or thumber shot down a hallway of trees if you just want to salvage par (no shame...). Red is a straight shot through a wall of trees. Natural grass tees.

Hole #4 is a short rh fade shot from Red. Blue is a long fade shot over an aggressive hump coming out of the woods, and Green is a monster par 4 playing uphill and around the corner with an anny or flick. Clear the top of the hill and you'll have a 150' to the basket if you're lucky. All these shots play through a belt of about 6 big trees in the fairway. Red & Blue are par 3 - Green is a par 4. Natural, dirt/wood tee pads.

Hole 5 is a heavily wooded dogleg right for all holes. Red is short, but the pin is hard to reach from the pad. Taking a 3 is a solid hole. A hallway of intimidating in your face trees on Blue, and a critical gap from the long Green tee, both requiring a solid lie on the fairway to shoot the pin. Red & Blue are par 3 - Green is a par 4. Natural, dirt/wood tee pads.

Hole 6 is a heavily wooded 200-300' shot from Red, Blue, & Green. There is a laser line down the left, and a soft rh hyzer line to the right. It's an ace run from all pads. Natural, dirt/wood tee pads.

Hole 7 is also heavily wooded with 3 completely different shots from each pad. Red and Green are higher and have a nice rh anny line, and Blue sports both a hyzer and anny line. It's a long, wooded hole to a fast, downhill green. Natural, dirt/wood tee pads.

Hole 8 is an interesting one... It's reversible. Playing downhill, a sweet rh hyzer route from Red and Blue to a raised basket and plays uphill from Green to an additional basket. The uphill shot is a rh anny/flick that needs to land on the ridge to have a good look at the basket for 3. Red & Blue are par 3 - Green is a par 4. Natural, dirt/wood tee pads.

Hole 9 is a signature hole. At the top of a hill with a view, 9 is a big hyzer shot from Red and Blue. Red is putter to soft midrange, Blue is a solid midrange, and Green is a monster, 500' shot that is pretty epic. There are three routes from Green, a huge hyzer around a huge sycamore tree, or a sharp fading laser under the tree, and a lower outside hyzer line to the right of the tree. Natural, dirt/wood tee pads.

There are 9 more holes going in right now. Great course. Can't wait to see it develop.
