Firstly, big shout out to Terry Grayson , Han , mrvinegar206 , phoenixjay , Friz , jivesinator , Energ1ser , @bigm , and everyone else who participate/chimed in/contributed/liked the "Sketch-a-hole" WIP thread. The back 9 of this course, save 1 hole, features my interpretation of/attempt to bring some of these guys sketched designs to life in TGC. Was a really fun project to take on, and I can easily see myself doing something similar again if other's enjoyed it, as well. With that said, Routledge Country Club (Par 72) is now open. Note on Tee's: While there are 5 total, they really fall into 3 categories - short, middle, and long. The idea is that those "middle" sets of tees are interchangeable, as they alternate every hole throughout the course. So while those 3 sets of tees that fall into the "middle" category do not boast a large total yardage, there is a healthy mix of shorter and longer holes throughout each. Generally, the course is fairly forgiving off the tee, but undulating greens require precise approach shots and a good touch on & around the greens. Greens: Medium/163 Fairways: Medium-Firm Pins: 4 Tees: [3] 5 [Short] Red: 5625 yds [Middle] Green: 6571 yds White: 6612 yds Blue: 6592 yds [Long] Black: 7048 yds Hope you enjoy, and thanks again to all of the guys who hopped in and participated in the sketch idea - was a lot of fun!

I love the look and thought the bunkers looked great. Greens, fairways, sculpting very nice. My cons are gonna be the 560 yd par 4 and to finish a 570 yd par 4. There was no chance of getting to the green in two there and that's not at all realistic and a bit unfair. I loved the course except for those two holes. Looking forward to your next project.

PLEASE tell me it didn't change the par on 18.....again. I just played through it with another a bit ago and didn't notice.... And what other 560 par 4 are you talking about?

You know, I figured something weird may have happened when you published this because the whole course made sense and the I was like WTH on a couple holes. Not your fault. I'll play it again and let you know what holes are crazy. I'll be on my tablet so my user name will show up as bassmanagain

Hole 9 is listed as 500 yard par 4, but from the back tees it's a 560 yard par 4.

Fun course, going to use it for the next White Wednesday event in the RGA. Shot a 61 when I was scouting it out. Any preference on which of the middle tee sets you'd want me to use for the event?

Thanks for the kind words guys, glad yall enjoyed the course. Sorry about the publishing error, honestly no clue how that happened, but I'll guess it was something to do with the weird "middle" tee sets? Who knows... Fun course, going to use it for the next White Wednesday event in the RGA. Shot a 61 when I was scouting it out. Any preference on which of the middle tee sets you'd want me to use for the event? I'm sure they won't all play exactly the same obviously, but in the end they should almost even out. So just pick your favorite color and go with it

It happens because the forward tees are too forward and the game automatically changes the par (if the forward tees are the default ones)
