I don't know why would anyone call that course open. The fairways are fair and reward good shots. On many holes it looks like you're in a world of trouble if you're off the fairway, so bad shots would definitely get punished. I'd love to play this course.
Maybe the guys out east would call this open because their courses are carved out of thick woods? I mean this course might as well be thick woods compared to some of the other courses in Texas.
I agree 100%! I also think that seeing a 1033 rated player on a course makes it seem easy for the average joe.
When I played this course i felt like I was playing GOLF!....and it was a great feeling.....
Side note- WTF aren't they using it for TX States?????? We Pros get stuck on one course while the AMs play 2.....all of them are good but it would be nice to showcase the newest course in Austin at an NT.
