It's late so I'll keep it short. Medium firm and fast greens. Not really an easy course but shouldn't be too much but of a challenge once you figure the greens out. Feedback is alway appreciated. I'll load some pictures if I get around to it tomorrow, unless Karma beats me to it.

Looks very nice - the bunkering is especially sweet. Will give this a play shortly!

Very, very well done design. Great layout, great routings, great sculpting. I can see this on a tour. Beautiful course.
The greens aren't my cup of tea, but the fast/firm crowd is going to love this one!

I've tested it playing around 6,800 with slower greens and around 7,500 with this set up and it plays well from both. Either set up could go on tour depending how mean the schedulers wanted to be.

firm is fine but you may want to dial the green speeds into the 150s. That would be just about perfect. firm is fun.

Played this last night in a quick "non-feature" round on TGCT AfterDark. My biggest takeaway is that slowing the green speed down to the 155-165 range would make it much more successful than the 187's. Still a nice layout and interesting round, just doesn't play as well as it could with the really high green speeds.
Well done!

Thanks for playing @griff . I'll get a "members" version out soon that might be more approachable for a casual round. I guess I could have slowed the greens for the initial release. This was definelty designed with a tough 7500 yard US Open atmosphere in mind!

This was definelty designed with a tough 7500 yard US Open atmosphere in mind! It wasn't that the course was tough...All in all it was enjoyable to play. A little more exaggerated contouring of the greens would help whether 187 or 155. That being said, (just my opinion) is that keeping the greens around 164 on firm just plays more true...Doesn't make the course really easier...It just allows the player to actually play the greens instead of just playing the firmness...Which is what 187 usually does. Anyways...Just a little input from somebody that pretty much only designs with firm settings. Like i said, still a quality course, brother.

This is now scheduled to be played on the PGA Tour in a few weeks so multi-pin is out. The Friday pins had a messed up tee box so got republished as TGIF. Thanks to all those community event organizers out there that have gotten this some extra plays.
