Wow! I must have been practicing on the wrong course! Rage quit 2 times. I'm not seeing a birdie-fest at all...must be me. I'm expecting around even to -3 per round for me and another missed cut. Best to you guys, Ken Yeah - I played it last night for the first time and the green were absolutely brutal. I don't think I'm playing the same course as you guys. On XB1 there was Harvest Hills Country Club, TPC Harvest Hills, Harvest Hills GC, and one more. I played Harvest Hills Country Club. I shot a -6 I think. That included one long putt, one 20 footer that I aimed 3 grids over, and birdies on all the par 5s. Nothing was easy IMO with every putt 10 feet or more at least one grid of break (probably more since I missed them all). Plus, some of the fairways were full of bunkers with slivers of fairway. With wind those will be awful to deal with. But -40s or -50s on that? No way Tried it again today. Different course when the winds are down. Still a few of the pin placements are tough....if you're not below the hole, good luck. Managed a -7 I think.

If I do that on the PGA, I'll let you know. Seriously though, for a course that really doesn't present many difficulties nor requires that much thinking, it really doesn't seem to fit the higher tours. I recall Oswinner talking about this early on. Start with some tougher courses, then a break with a birdie fest, then back to some tougher - so like a cycle. It makes sense to me since it is hard to please everyone. I personally don't like the birdie-fest courses since a par feels like a bogey. But some people love and excel on those types. Should be another interesting week! Indeed. This course was picked to offset the more difficult courses like Ballyntyne, Oktoberfest and Persimmon Valley. Personally I prefer the tougher tracks but some people like a birdie fest. You can't please everybody. Without knowing how good the new crop of webbers are aswell it's good to throw various difficulties out there to begin with to gauge feedback and go from there.

I think it's the 8th hole...Is it actually possible to birdie? I found on playing a practice round that it was damn near impossible as far as I could see...maybe I've missed something. Just played another practice round here, the 8th hole was the only hole on the front 9 I didn't birdie. -12 with a bogey on the back 9. I'm predicting -15 for the cut this week.

How can there be 2 courses with the exact same name on Xbox? Does someone end with a space or something?
