I was trying to get a feel for what the Trey courses are like, so I put together a little list of Texas Houck courses.
From the first list below, it appears length/par of Texas Twist is pretty similar to Selah Lakeside, while Trey Deuce is similar to Circ Hill (Wimberley). (OBVIOUSLY the land/vegetation/water is different.)
One of the great things about Houck's courses is that there's little debate about "par" for any hole, so we can do things like subtract 36 putts from the par, and divide the length to get a Length-Per-Shot. As expected, Moody's is the ruler here.
Also, Circ Hill ends up being 10 feet per shot longer than Trey Deuce, while the 2 Trey courses end up pretty similar even though they are 1000 feet different.
Not really any surprises I guess -- just sharing, and welcoming your comments.
RIP San Saba and Wimberley.

p.s. Mr. Houck please feel free to comment on any surprises, design insights, or anything that seems out of place.
