For course posting/reviewing purposes, what should the following courses be called?
A) 9 baskets, two teepads per basket, fairly similar flight paths--think long and short tees on a typical hole. Maybe 40-80' difference between them.
B) 9 or 10 baskets, but the holes play totally differently--the teepad for 11 is near the basket of 9, and plays back toward 8's basket, 12 teepad near the basket for 8, plays to 7's basket, etc. Basically the course plays backward.
I ask because it seems more courses are going in which used to be called 9 holes, but they are called 18 holes here. I mean, many courses have short and long teepads for each of their 18 baskets, but no one ever says it is a 36 hole course...
Stubbs Park DGC in Centerville, OH is an example of A.
Life in Christ Fellowship DGC in West Jefferson, OH is an example of B (10 baskets). It at least felt like 18 different holes, but still only 10 baskets...
There are more, but those are the most recent I have played.
