Maybe I'll make a logo at some point.
First things first, play Typhon Peak Resort, not Typhon Peak Resort & Spa. The original publish changed a 683 yard par 5 (it's OK, there's a lot of downhill and it's supposed to be a 3-shotter) to a par 6. It is intended to be played from the black tees; the gold tees are basically playable too, especially with lower club sets.
Anyway, here's the required elements I used and the pertinent holes:
-5 Par 3s (4, 10, 13, 15, 18)
-Par 3 over 230 yards (15)
-3 par 4s under 400 yards (3, 7, 9)
-125+ foot elevation hole (15)
-1+ driveable par 4 (3)
-3-shot par 5 (8) (you could make it in 2 with a big frickin' tailwind but it's designed to be 3 shots)
This course is a par 71 at almost exactly 7000 yards from the tips. The front 9 is par 37 at a lengthy 3,863 yards, while the back 9 features 4 par 3 holes and an overall par of 34 and is a much shorter 3,138 yards. The course begins with a number of relatively flat holes near the beach & bay, including a driveable par 4 jutting out into the water, before drawing close to the dormant volcano on the sixth hole. Beginning with the 7th hole, the second portion of the course is dominated by substantial elevation changes as it wraps around the back of the island. This culminates with a par 3 15th hole with a nearly 140 foot drop, before the final 3 holes return to the bay side of the island and are capped off by a par 3 to a peninsular green.
