Gopher Holes
Welcome to Gopher Holes.. Gopher Holes can be a very tough highlands themed course when the winds are up.. Precision off the tee is a major factor if you want to score well here.. The fairways and greens are fast and firm.. Pay attention to the slopes and roll them up close.. Please enjoy your round..
I have been working on this one for awhile.. I think it will be a fairly difficult course in high winds.. I hope you guys take some time to check it out.. The wife walked by and took a look at what I was doing one night.. She is responsible for the name
7281 yards Par 72 Highlands Fast and Firm Narrow Fairways and Bumpy Greens

Thanks for playing it Vic.. I really appreciate it.. I really enjoyed trying to make a links style course with greens that have some slope.. This is definitely the toughest course I have designed.. Completing a round without a bogey seems difficult.. I played it a ton in the designer and it always has high winds..

Nice course Eric. Looks nice and plays fair. Had to smile at the par 5 on the front 9 (hole 8?) You've got two "gopher holes" that look like a pair of eyes and the shadows are such that the eyes look like they've got lashes! Gave it an 8.

Your prowess in the GNCD has come a long way, brother. Great looking pics. I look forward to giving this one a run once I finish up the Invicta streams.

Eric, fantastic golf course. The links experience is extremely realistic, the bumpy, amazingly terrain makes the bounces hard to predict, and force the player to find the best way towards the hole. As should be in any links course.
There were only a couple of things I liked a bit less than the whole course:
I'm not big fan of having back to back par 5's. It's more a personal preference than something "bad". And the other thing I found which jumped in my eyes was the size of some of the pot bunkers. I found them to be too big, specially after comparing them with the width of some of the fairways. This is nothing serious, also a matter of preferences, and it did not substract a bit of the really great experience of playing the course.
Very nice job here!

Thanks for the play Pablo.. Yeah some of the bunkers were very big.. But I did sprinkle a few small ones around here and there.. I'm glad you liked the course overall.. It was a fun one to make.. Plus, I like the fact that it is tough.. I am the designer and I can't score very well on it.. But I also think it's a fair course.. That has to be a positive.. Cheers..
