China Peak. Longest and hardest permanent course in California
There is a course just outside of Bremerton Washington, on the road to Silverdale? Maybe NAD? Anyway, I played it about eight years ago. When I got there, it was roped off for munitions removal, someone had found a shell. I had come a good ways and, well, I played it anyway. Got to the end and the removal crew had arrived. They shook their heads and gave me the, "what a dumbass," look. I have to admit, I walked very gingerly and with much fear. Now, if I ever catch my sons doing something that stupid, I'm kicking some donkey.

Cool to have played a course that Ed Hendricks Designed in his life.I have played that is tough is this one a few times on vacation, https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=334&mode=ci It it tough because the course will wear you out, walking on the sand. It is challenging becuse the holes contently changing due to the surface it is. Some of the baskets can't be seen when on the tee pad.

I'm guessing in 3 weeks my answer will be Diamond X
Same here! :hfive:
Driving cross country and should be playing it the morning of the 28th.

The course outside of Lindrith, New Mexico is my extreme submission. Partly in a Pinon Pine forest, partly in a canyon/badlands area. Way out in the middle of nothingness but a really cool way to spend a weekend camping and discing. I'm not sure it's still available it's been quite some time since I've played it.

One of the more extreme personal experiences I had was on CP Adams in Hastings, MN. The course itself isn't too extreme in normal conditions. 2 or 3 of the holes can get a little dicey, especially when you cover them in snow and ice, and then attempt to navigate on one leg (iWalk suspending the non weight bearing surgically repaired right foot). The walk down to hole 5 is pretty treacherous in said conditions, to add to the extremeness I aced that one, worth about $100. Then the walk down hole 11 fairway is pretty nuts. But the most extreme part was navigating back up hole 11 fairway. Those that had 2 working feet were struggling. I just took it slow, occasionally making backward progress, using my hands and grabbing whatever rocks and trees I could to pull myself forward. Solid day of golf made for a quite memorable experience.
