When I was a mere mortal like you guys, playing on the web, not yet having discovered my scheduler super powers, a course by this designer would send fear across the whole of the web.com. Not because the courses were unfair, or overly difficult but because the greens could reduce the toughest of men to a a babbling wreck, a shadow of his former self. So I thought I would share the experience with you guys. So are you ready to scream unfair, ready to course out the scheduler, ready to throw your controller out the window because the web.com is proud to present The Jumeriah Club. Ok, it’s not as bad as that, there are a handful of pins through out the fours days that will cause pain if you end up above the pin, easily possible to putt right of the green. It is up to you to make sure you leave your approach below the pin for that much easier uphill putt. I think there were four pins over the four rounds the rangers suggested changing and a couple of others that just caused minor cuts and bruises. I refused to change anything, so you all can have to true web.com experience of being canucked, just like the old days. So have fun( and there is a lot of fun on what is a fantastic course), plan your approach carefully and for a true old days web.com experience, 20 pages of complaining.

After picking up my first strike at Shrewsbury, I had a very unusual round one here at Canuckville. A few practice rounds on pin 1 had me in the -9 to -11 range, so I was hoping to hit double digits under par in round 1. I started with 4 pars with 3 edge burners and figured I was in deep trouble, then reeled off 11 straight birdies before parring the last 3 holes, including 3 putting par 5 18th, to finish at -11. I haven't played other pins yet, but I think we'll see some people go pretty low in round 1. Based on what Dan said about some pin placements later on, I'm thinking a good round 1 will be crucial this week.

Finished round 2 with a 65, and parred all 4 par 5s and bogeyed a par 4 that I drove, nice 4 putt! Sitting at -18 after 2, should erase my strike from last week. Some tricky greens for sure, but also some low scores to be had if you put it in the right places.

Well played, your last sentence is what this course is about, they can be tricky, how tricky depends on the golfer.

Had my first sub-60 tour round (57) in round 1. Finally realized I was playing way too much break on the greens. Played the par 5s in -7! Not bad for a designer

Haha Dan hmammoth you're just trying to scare the new players with the crazycanuck boogey monster . I've played Canucked courses since I started and there were some doozies back in TGC1, I think he saw yellow slopes as flat back then and red as just gentle slopes ; although his latest ones are now more benign but still slopey maybe he's mellowed. You're right in needing to be in the correct spot on the green with Jumeriah, it can be tough but interesting to play as you need to think your way around (much prefer these type of courses than just grip it and rip it ones, thanks Andre Crazycanuck1985). Hopefully the wind doesn't get up though as in a big crosswind it'll be very tough. Then again, when I play my rounds later in the week if i don't score well I'll just #blame pablo, hmammoth, crazycanuck, HB servers etc (take your pick). Good luck to all

After that (self-inflicted) fiasco in round 2 I may go from top of the leaderboard to MC...

I reckon it will have to be up on -50 for an Exemption this week as I had -44 last week and missed it by 1 or 2 shots, and this course is 1 of the easy ones also..I think -20 was the cut last week I would say the same again

hmm. Yeh I think I left a fair few shots out there.
-16 could be on the line in my opinion. It isn't any easier than the course 2 weeks ago I reckon.

Played the first round and it took till the 16th hole to not have a birdie putt either go in or burn off the edge. Best rounds I have played in a long time with keeping my approaches within a 10ft circle for the most part. Two bogies I think were in there somewhere (1 each round) and I would feel really good at -27.....but I will take the -22. Don't worry....if an exemption happens I always come back to my Web.com

Rhino that was 2 fantastic rds...I just played my first rd and went +3 when I got on the tee I realised that this wasn't the easy course I thought it was..Big mistake on my part I thought it was another course.anyway I absolutely hate that course it is terrible I played it 1 time before this and hated it then..Why didn't I check properly and I would have skipped this week..Now I am gonna except a double strike because I never want to play it again..Good luck to yee all that can play this course it's just not for me
