If dale was still scheduling that wouldnt of seen light of day on pga. No idea what you're basing this on.
If I was making a list of the 10 worst courses we've played this season this weeks wouldn't get anywhere near the Top 10.

Even tho clv's is far less accurate in everyway. Dont get me wrong its a tough track but why wouldn't you use the best possible version of a course if its available! I used to love playing magnolia when it was the only option but its not is it. A bit like having a burger when uve got a steak in the fridge!

Each to there own! Just an opinion jack. Ive played loads of courses this week across all societies and this is one of the worst ive played. Looks nice but just poorly sculpted round the greens. No flow to it. Its just erratic in too many areas Personally I hit it well and putted poorly but thats on me.

And I have to ask, and hopefully everyone is honest. Do you hate very high winds because they’re actually buggy and unfair, or do you hate them because they’re mentally taxing and take a ton of work to play well in them? I was completely the latter as recently as last year. I’m pretty sure I even complained about very high winds after the tournament at Justin’s course last year. I was only mad because I didn’t feel like putting in the effort in very high winds and played poorly and got angry. I’ve turned around on that completely. I think now very high is one of the only ways to challenge in the game by putting a premium on getting the ball on line and course management. I am indifferent. I really only hate them when they take away the intended way to play a hole. For instance, when a driver off the deck on a 91% lie cant reach the green. If you're going to play with fire, at least invest the time to understand the direction the wind should play to make all holes reachable in regulation. If that's not possible, then don't do it.

After completing all four rounds my biggest gripe was mixing soft fairways with very firm greens. Don’t think it plays realistic when a shot landing 1 yard short of the green will stick but a shot 1 yard onto the surface will bounce 15 yards to the back. Moderate fairways are probably ok but soft + very firm is pretty extreme.
I laid up on 11 on round 2. Hit a bad wedge and made bogey. I still don’t see what the problem is with that. So it played like a risk reward par 5 one round, par is just a number.

So it played like a risk reward par 5 one round, par is just a number. Good point on #11. Like I said, didn't play how I preferred with wind dead in the face, but it was the same length for everyone. Try to make your 4 and it's basically a birdie. I also agree on the soft terrain. I think there's maybe 1 or 2 total rounds in the next 5 weeks with it. It's basically something I like in some ways but hate in others. I like it on driving because it stops everyone from driving it 330 on every hole but it really plays terribly around the greens obviously. Moderate will be what I use the most going forward as it's a nice meeting point. We were using very firm terrain way too much and it turns 7500 yard courses into driver wedge most holes.
