I'm excited to release two courses at 'Greystone Chapel'. Greystone chapel features 18 tees and 18 greens, but 36 holes. The course is reversible, so the first hole on the black course goes from tee 1 on the white course, to green 17 on the white course. The second goes from 18 tee to 16 green, and so on. Therefore, the routings are just a reverse of each other. An equal amount of time has gone into both of these courses, so they should be equally good or bad. As these courses should be equal in quality if I did my job right, I thought the only way to choose which route to use for the comp was to flip a coin. The coin decided that 'Greystone Chapel - Black' will be the group E course for the WCoD. The fairways defaulted to the wrong conditions, they are supposed to play 'Very Firm'. Having said that, feel free to mix up the conditions. The courses can handle 'Very Firm' conditions all around- the greens may get a little dicey in spots on 'Very Fast, but hey, it's your funeral! Enjoy and let me know how you get on. I'm interested to hear what you liked and didn't like, as well as whether you prefer the Black or White route. Cheers!      |

Getting a "Legend of Bagger Vance" vibe here. Can't wait to play this. |

Visually stunning, I loved the planting. Greens are tough on pin 3, you really have to pay attention on where to place your shot. Great job bud and gl in the contest.

What a ridiculously fun layout and concept. I've only played the black course so far, but I will definitely dive into the white for my next casual round. Feels like a an old chaplain just went out behind the church property and started throwing greens everywhere he thought would be fun. Good luck in group e. Here is my albatross on the first hole... don't want to talk about the rest of my late night round haha, but I will be back to better that score!

Just played Galliegh Links on Friday Night with the XB guys and again you nailed it. Took Greystone for a small test run and again, beautiful course. You definitely have your niche of making challenging courses without using distance as a tool for difficulty. You have a life long fan here and look forward to additional courses my friend. Will likely go against the grain and use your course again this week.

Instantly a personal favorite. This is a great reversible course that plays equally well both directions and the second loop leaves the golfer with no sense that he is playing the first routing he played backwards. It is also impossible to distinguish which routing would be the so-called "original". Perfect

I just played the Black side. I played terrain and green firmness very firm/fast and green speed fast. I played from the tips and pin set 4. Everything else default.
I thought the overall course was well thought out. Great views and challenging pins with some nice tiered and undulated greens. The greens were challenging yet fair. Very fast would be tough for sure. Also if you end up on the wrong side of the slope. Luckily I struck it well.
I can’t wait to play the White side shortly. I finished Black, bogey free -11. Must play a couple times just to enjoy how it lays out.
Edit: played the white course. That was a great course as well. I did the same layout as the black. White to me was more difficult and the wind was blowing more towards trouble spots than the black. The pin locations were a bit tougher imo as well but fun and fair. Hit the wrong side of the greens a couple times. Finished -3 with 3 bogeys. I’ll be playing both sides again. Thanks!!

Thank you for the video Meyo, I enjoyed watching you play it. I always try and set pin 3 up as the toughest set, but as the pins are in the exact same spot in reverse, it didn’t always work out like that. Thanks again! |

It is also impossible to distinguish which routing would be the so-called "original". Perfect I’m glad you couldn’t see what would have been the original routing. I was worried when I started this that one course would be ok, and the other play not so good. |
