Three rounds... not really a Web.com level course. The difficulty is up there, even without high wind

I don't think I see too many -50's on this course. Brutal course, and I have had 17-20 mph in both practice round. Tough to even break par.

Like all other tours...some very tough, some very easy, most somewhere in between.
This one...very tough.

I shot a couple of +1's which is about the best I can do. Wind is brutal.

I'm not really sad about not to play that course next week. Anyway... good luck (and low winds) to all that have to.

Phew! Thank my lucky stars I won a sponsors exemption last week... Probably won't make the cut but: Bavaro > Liberty Sound

Ball trickled down a cliff onto a secluded beach during 1st round.
Had to play with myself for a bit until John eventually called time wasting on me.
Thankfully not too many peeps around on the beach at that time of the morning...

One of my least favorite courses out there. Difficulty wise that is. Not design/look.

This thread has really cheered me up. I've got an exemption to play this one and I've had a few practice rounds. The wind was 12-20mph and it killed me! I managed one round sub-par on my first go, but all rounds since have been over par. Glad I'm not the only one having big trouble with this one.

Get your rounds in this morning folks. I just played my first two rounds and nothing over 9mph! Got all four rounds in Crow, conditions were too good to miss! Using my exemption from Champions to try and move up, hoping I've done enough to earn my Web card. Much better than my practice rounds.

Well, I went in a reverse direction! Got a sponsors exemption and decided to use it next week instead of this week. I don't mind Liberty Sound as I like the tougher courses. In my practice rounds, I battled 15-20 mph winds and actually learned how to play in them better. Did not break par in three practice rounds but was looking forward to this week. I found that instead of Doyley right and left click method, I started to slice into a R to L wind and vice versa for the L to R wind. Still us the clicks but not as many. Got out early today 8 est (Saturday) as always and found 5-12 mph winds. (happy) Good luck guys!

From tee to green a really nice and challenging course which I would rate with an eight. The greens and the pin positions just ruin the experience. There is a difference between tough and simply unfair. And this one is simply unfair. I love difficult greens if you can you can avoid tough breaks by good course management and shot placement. But this is not possible on this course. There are no easy putts. But there should be if you play the course the right way.
So in the end it is just a badly designed course which could have been a real great one, as the rest of the course is beautifully crafted.
The wind will be -as always- very decisive. The round to round scores even from the best players should differ much more than on previous courses.
