My entry into Griff's Challenge Series contest is published. Most of the write-up below is plagiarized. The Greanleaf Organization is a non-profit institution dedicated to the research and education of organic agriculture. The Club at Greenleaf is home to the Organic Golf Course Management division, where golf course superintendents from around the globe come to learn the latest, proven techniques for maintaining an environmentally-sensitive golf course. The golf course is open to the public during the weekends, but during the week it serves as the coolest classroom in the world. Students will explore every organic practice that's available, including nightly application of organic pesticide on the greens and whipping the fairways in the morning to remove moisture and prevent mildew. The club’s organic model and teaching methods hope to help push thousands of courses toward using fewer pesticides, less water and more natural grass-growing procedures. The course focuses on playability rather than visual perfection. The greens are devoid of weeds or major blemishes, and they roll true and consistent. The fairways have patches of crabgrass and clover that are barely noticeable. The rest of the land is left untouched, letting it’s natural beauty shine. Enjoy your round and please rinse your spikes before entering the property.

Played this course tonight. Great track, lots of ways the holes could be played and plenty of risk reward opportunities. Really natural look to this course, reminds me of a great course not far from where I live. I will definitely be giving this one another play. Five stars from me.

Name makes me think about an old Black Sabbath song, "Sweetleaf" The course looks fantastic. Started playing late last night, fell asleep somewhere on the front nine...LOL, then had two fast down swings...called it a night after that. Giving it a proper play right now

Gave this a proper play as I stated earlier. This is some beautiful work here. Love the planting, hole design, lighting and sculpting. Just gorgeous. Love how the course plays, and love some of the risk reward tee shots. This is a five star course and tour worthy without a doubt. Thank you for a fantastic course!

I think we might have found our winner winner chicken dinner for the contest. I would buy a membership in real life to this place!

Really rewards good shots, and can punish some poor shots and choices. Found myself in the heavy rough few too many times to post a good score. Only -7 from the tips.
Repeat play value looks huge here...plan to play another pin set soon. Have a backlog of other courses I want to try first.

Saving this from Page 2 with a little bump. I wish this wasn't my course so I could say how much I enjoy playing it without coming off like a complete d-bag.
