**Note**: This is in the very, very, early stages. The old dirt racing track at Catoosa - just on the south edge of Stillmore, SC - has been nearly grown over with all sorts of weeds and brush ever since its use was prohibited by sheriff Oscar Greene back in 1971. The property, over the next 49 years, would be subject to much illegal logging and hunting. Per the new owner, who has elected to remain anonymous, a golf course will be built around the track and nearby Cobb Lake. 10 holes will interact with the track and 3 with the lake. The property has been cleared and ground has recently been broken on holes 1, 4, 7, 8, and 9. The course draws heavily from the work of Gil Hanse at Ohoopee Match, as well as some tenets of both Pinehurst #4 and Streamsong Black. Designed to be funky and exciting: 3 drivable par-4s, multiple double greens, etc. Scroll down (past images) for the first drawings I have ever posted in these forumsHoles 1 & 4, with the old dirt track running by: The Track: (ignore the yardage, there will be no such hole. Just a side effect of the land-raising) Sketches: 1: 5: 13: Stay tuned - more updates soon!

Cool concept. I like the idea of incorporating a remnant of the site into the design. Pics look great.

LOVE the idea behind the story of the course, and how you're integrating the new use of the dirt track as one big continuous bunker
Really excited to see how this one turns out!

My favorite concept yet. Huge racing fan (MotoGP, not so much dirt). Looking great so far, can't wait to play!
