Agreed. I think Canyons tends to get a pass because if you're playing the added holes, there's a big gap between the first 2 open holes and the last 3. Canyons also has a couple of throwaways (14 & 15, I think). I tend to think of the open holes as the exceptions out there.Compare the open holes at The Canyons (7,8,10-12) with Fairfield (1-5ish,18,19) and what they bring the overall layout in terms of balance and elevation. Some might give the edge to Fairfield. I agree those working to improve Fairfield should consider adding a few more strategically placed trees to grow into additional shot shaping challenges on some of those open holes.
At Fairfield, you're playing 5 in a row almost totally in the open to start the course. First impressions and all.
