I'll kick this off as it's pretty quiet in the Euro Front. Played a couple of practice rounds and went from being extremely daunted to absolutely loving the course by the end. The risk reward tee shots, big undulating greens and the variety of hole lengths meant there were some killer holes mixed in with plenty of birdie/eagle chances.
Personally, I had a slow start before getting it together mid-round and posted a -7 in Rd1. Rd2 was going well and sitting at -10 after 17 before I left my approach short on 18 and had the 71 foot uphill-downhill putt from front to back. Left my first putt short of the top of the ridge and had to do it all again.....ended up with a 6 and -8 for the round. -15 after 2 rounds. Looks like I might just make the cut which is handy as I went -25 for the next 2 rounds to finish -40. A few shots short of the PC leader but happy enough.
Cheers and good luck.

-10, missed cut and first red thingy/thingies for me
If I’m honest, and without meaning disrespect to the designer, I felt the complete opposite; course was not my cup of tea and did not feel like a golf course.
See you all next week, Frans

I was just pissed after my first round cause of my play and decided to quick play round 2 which obviously didn't make my game better. Missed cut for me too

I’m with [mention]tuffguts [/mention] on this one. Absolutely loved the course. I’m not typically a fan of the forced carries but they didn’t effect play too much and there was always an alternative to taking it on if you wanted to play safe. The clincher for me was the greens. I’m a HUGE fan of massive green complexes with different levels and options where you can’t just go straight at the flag on every hole. They force you to think and plan out your shots to account for the rollouts.
It also doesn’t hurt that I just played my best tourney on Euro.
Round 1: -12 Round 2: -10 Round 3: -14 Round 4: -13
-49 total and just one away from the victory. The missed gimme on the 2nd hole of my final round is gonna haunt my nightmares for a while.

Round 1 started off with a nice easy birdie then a string of 5 pars and terrible putting before I got an Eagle on 7 to kind of kick start my round. Finished up with a -7. Round 2 was better and despite 2 bogies I finished-9 for -16 at the cut which got me into the weekend.
Rounds 3-4 were pretty much the same where I played well but just not good enough to make a real run. -15 for the weekend for a -31 total. I really liked the course...love the reachable Par 5s and risk/reward tee shots
