I'll be honest, that doesn't look like very much fun.
It could be one of the best if the grass was mowed and you had 2 spotters on every hole.

I saw a lot of mention of Richmond Hill. I played there 30 times this Summer and The Sarge in Hardeeville SC is more difficult for sure. The Golds there are as tough as it gets from what I have seen; Water on 14 holes. Lots of forced carries over water with more then one being over 100 yards. OB on both sides on many holes ... water, water, everywhere. Every shot is technical - highly wooded. Par is about 1000 rated.
I think you mean Iron Hill territory, not Maple Hill which has an SSA of 60.

It's super cool...until around hole 5. Then it just feels hard.
I'd like to see what Harmony Bends in Columbia measures out to in the Gold layout. DGCR says SSA is 63 from the blue (which I think is too low, I think a 65 or so would be SSA) and the gold pins are in some very tricky and potentially punishing spots.
You may consider changing the DGCR course info to heavily wooded instead of moderate and see if the estimated DCGR SSA matches better the actual SSA.I'd like to see what Harmony Bends in Columbia measures out to in the Gold layout.

I need to get over there and play that course. A friend who is a solid open player said low 60's is a very good round.
I'm curious about this too. A 65 was 995, and 63 1009 per the PDGA results for the 2016 Mid America Open. They played the blues round 1. George Smith shot a 59 and it was a 1037..

I didn't find WR Jackson difficult, I probably played my best round of golf ever there.
Having only mostly played courses in Texas, the middle concho course in San Angelo was the biggest beat down yet. If you don't lose a disc then you were playing extremely safe on 4-5 holes. I guess the course isn't that hard, it's just the river that sucks so bad. I think hole 11 is a peninsula where the basket sits on a 10' piece of land with water on the left and ob on the right.
Gateway used to be harder before they cleaned it up. I think the fear that you might walk up on some homosexual meet up increases the danger factor as well. Last time we played two dudes in a van stopped on the road next to us, threw open the sliding door, and asked if we would like to join. Haven't gone back.
The other course that beat me down was the beast in Waco. I walked away wanting to sell my discs because I had become a failure.
Again, these are just from courses I've played.
