Ok, for a lot of folks this will mean nothing and you can just move along. For others it may mean you get a shot to play a track you enjoyed previously. For me it's just clearing out the attic and letting all the cracks and cobwebs of previous designs show without being embarrassed by them.
Gdog was mentioning some old courses the other day and he did so in a way that made me think he may enjoy playing them again in TGC19 since many of them were never even moved to TGC2. So I'm pulling over a number of courses from the original TGC and publishing them in TGC19. I'm not planning to "update" them in any way other than to put in tees and pins. You get all the warts and wrinkly rough lines and stupid narrow fairways of yesteryear.
I would tell you that If I had time and a mind to do it every one of them would see major renovations...but I simply don't have either so you get the old ones. As they are published I'll let you know. I did one this evening just to get started.
Reebdoog Cove - Classic PUBLISHED Quarry Creek - Classic PUBLISHED Elmview GC - Classic PUBLISHED Columbia National Golf Links - Classic Coming Soon Swindon Downs - Classic Coming Soon Isla Resaca - Classic PUBLISHED The Rookery - Classic PUBLISHED Borthwick Bay - Classic Coming Soon
And others...
If you enjoy the old style courses then give them a play. If narrow fairways and small greens aren't your thing...I'd just skip them. If you want to just see early TGC design and poke fun at me....go right ahead. :-)

Stop messing about and get Elmview done But seriously, it'll be good to check out some of your old courses and how they play in 2019.

"You get all the warts and wrinkly rough lines and stupid narrow fairways of yesteryear"
That's part of the charm! And you get to see how much better your courses are now

honestly they still play ok...just narrow and ugly Like, I see the ideas and like most of them...just could be better. Granted these were ALL made in original TGC so the tools have changed a LOT!

Just played Elmview. Wow they don't make me like that too often. Terrific track and you are rightly punished for a fast or slow off the tee. I only hit 50% fir..not sure that has ever happened! I think that 1st hole is the hardest opening hole I have ever played. Scrambled to shoot a -1 definitely gonna have to check out some of your other tracks...👍

that course was specifically designed for the TGCT US Open in season 2 if I recall. There was a contest to host. It was made to really test and in THAT game the approaches were MUCH more of a problem than the drives.

Wow, this is quality. I came here looking to see if Bison Run had been ported to TGC19. Unfortunately that hasn’t but looks like many of your other classics have been. Cheers.
