Construction is underway on what could be my final course before '21. This is just a small teaser from The Botany Club!
First 7 holes are laid down and all 18 mapped. The Botany Club plays upon the shores a large central lake, carved through mature pines and Azaleas.
Having done two very traditional British designs, I've been inspired by the likes of East Lake, Isleworth and if it's not to obvious, the course that must not be named for legal reasons! That being said there is a local beauty spot close to home in the UK called Virginia Water (borders Wentworth) with very similar terrain.
Let me know what you think so far! I think I may have bitten of more than I can chew having to plant each Azalea flower individually but it's got a cool look I haven't seen so far on this game!
Work continues at The Botany Club! The 8th-11th holes are now complete as well as the new Halfway House, perched behind the 9th green with views around the turn and of the lake the course plays around.
The 8th hole is a short par 3 with three deep green side bunkers which aren't always the issue. The green is divided by a ridge so finding the right section is the only way to make birdie.
The final hole of the front nine is a reachable dogleg left par 5 but water guards the tee shot as well as the approach. Taking on the corner will leave a shorter club in, but a less favourable angle in to a penal green complex.
Making the turn at the 10th is a 470 yard uphill hogs back par 4. Finding the correct side of the fairway leaves an easier approach as you can avoid the large mound hiding the right of the green.
The 11th is a more straightforward par 4 where a good drive offers a wedge or short iron to a plateau green. Nevertheless, a meandering stream works it's way around the green edge to catch a loose shot.
Still plenty of work to go and I'll keep you updated!

Art Vandelay: I still get random crashes stymiemcg54 but not nearly at the rate I did a few months back. But never on startup if that is what you mean by instantaneous.
