So the back 9 is almost laid out and contoured. I've hardly made a start on planting but starting to put down some ideas and I think I've settled on something I like. The green shared by the 5th/13th still has me stuck but it will come. I was lucky enough to play Burnham & Berrow, Somerset, UK last week and man, what a golf course that is! There was an excellent RCR in '19 which hopefully has been ported so give it a play but walking round it has given me some great ideas as to how to build the environment. Here's a few photos of the back 9; The approach to the short 10th hole. 10 is a bunkerless driveable par 4 but defended by contouring and the infamous hollow "The Bathtub" The long Cape 11th hole, teeing off over the water and playing to a challenging front to back sloped green. The Narrows 12th hole gives the option of hitting wood from the tee leaving a blind short iron shot to the green or shooting the gap between gorse and two deep pot bunkers with driver. The 14th hole features a huge cross bunker reminiscent of Royal North Devon that challenges the tee shot. The second photo is from behind the green looking back down the fairway. A new burn has been added between the 4th and 15th holes. From the tee on 15, players have to option to clear the hazard but leave a blind wedge from a challenging angle or a wood short and leave a long shot and cross the hazard by the green side. 16 is a mid length par 3 guarded by 3 bunkers at the front and a punishing hollow past the green We have the green site of the 1st and 17th holes. 17 is the longest on the course at 591 yards from the tips that tumbles between two dunes to a modified Maiden green complex that serves the first a penultimate hole.

I love the bunker walls in lieu of the ability to build a pot or sod wall bunker.
