One of the best courses ive played right up until the last few greens. Just a bit too much slope near the hole at times 2 things I did on this course to try and follow ... To give a layout that had 6 easy, 6-medium, and 6 harder holes to even out the course play while keeping it cohesive, as you play the whole course. Trying to do this was a challenge because it's not easy to have 18 different holes from not looking like they are from 18 different courses. On trick is to have other holes visible from any shot you just played ... (but this is just a personal preference) The Second thing I did was concentrate on Pin Placement. Again, using the 6-6-6 strategy (as do most courses in real life), was I started of with the pin placed in the front of the green, next hole the pin was in the Middle of the green, and the 3rd hole was in the back of the green. This pattern was repeated around the entire course. (This was also done with hopes that someday the GNCD will allow us to have different colored flags to indicate flag locations). So yes ... some holes do have a tendency to slope just a tad more ... like about 6 of them ...  Once you play it a few times, you learn there is a safe spot to land on every green ... and the closer to the pin you are, the flatter it gets ... |

I dont think it was the green so much as the pin placement. I putt my greens from every angle.and make.sure they dont go too far past. I hit a strong putt for sure my putting is bad no q. But to see it run for ages without atopping. same a green later with an approach shot that run for yards off a slope. I just think it was a little extreme. i admit though better players would just call it tough. I thought it was a great course anyway mate
