I'll get the fancy thread up later with all the pretty pictures and graphics and whatnot, but I figure I should at least get this one out there. Right now only the tournament version is published, but I'll be getting a members version done this week as well that will have a few more tees and be a little more forgiving.
Here's a couple pictures as well:

Great track here. Loved the look of the browned out rough in the trees, was a very nice touch. A lot of great holes, and good fair challenge (12 for whatever reason was my favorite). Very well done, wouldn’t mind getting a chance to play 4 rounds out here if it finds its way to whatever tour I’m on at the time.

I just wasn't sure if I should post that in the completed course thread, so I guess this answers my question.

I still don't know how some of y'all get sightlines like this.

Wowzers Matt! This is a cracker. You really captured that US Open feel perfectly in my opinion. Fantastic course. Looking forward to playing it again and again. Congratulations to you and good luck in the contest.

Here's my playthrough. Just wish my play would have matched the level of the course. Good luck in the contest!

Fantastic course here - my favorite things: 1.) The par 3 10th hole is the most memorable for me, I think just because of the combination of the view and having the back nine start on a par-3. It's one of those things that you just don't forget after playing it. 2.) The dunes style bunkers are so well done. Those feathered lips are so hard to do right and you nailed it. 3.) Lots of elevation change here, but not one area feels like it couldn't be a real course. The elevation changes are done so naturally. 4.) The fairways have some great undulation to them. You have to kind of pay attention to where in the fairway you land it, to make sure you get the bounce you want. 5.) Greens are segmented nicely. I would love to see a masochist version with the hole locations like 6 feet off the edges, but even in this version you had to think hard about where to leave the ball. I also liked how you had to sometimes land the ball in the middle of a tier to have it release correctly to the pin. 6.) Great atmosphere. That view looking down the side of the hill out to the forest/lake beyond is super cool. I'm terrible, but managed to actually get it around OK here using default conditions on pinset 1. I think I could have made a couple more putts but I was pretty happy with how I struck it, considering I don't have a clue what I'm doing.
Great job, this one is a winner!

Good looking course, nice use of elevation. Played pinset 1 in a hurricane, 15-20 mph winds throughout, somehow managed to keep it to one bogey (which I had to miss an 8 foot putt to get) and scrape together a 61.
