I think that it's obvious that the Rookie Contest is not something that indicates it is an easy contest to win. These courses have been absolutely fantastic, and this one looks like it is no exception to that trend. Going to play a round on this one now! Well done.

Thanks alot, we will wait and see. Course didnt get Tour Worthy so reviewers obviously seeing something that they arent happy with. Hopefully I can find out what that is so I can improve for the next one.

Hopefully I can find out what that is so I can improve for the next one. Don’t know what it would have been 🤔. Only thing I could maybe think of would be that maybe they felt the waste areas were a little too close to the fairways? Oh well, I thought it was great! Keep ‘em coming!

No idea. Kindof went for a combo of waste bunker and blast bunker together so I cant imagine it would be that but hopefully I will get some feedback.sculpted them so the ball would generally end up on the parts with little planting. Thanks again for playing the course and messaging me.

Wow, what a nice course! Fun to play, challenging but fair, fantastic views, hard to find any flaws. The only two items I can nit pick are that 2 of the par 4s were very similar, and I felt like some of the planting on the fairway side of the bunkers should have been thinned out. I searched hard to criticise those items though, as I too am in the Rookie Competition. Great submission and amazing competition. Good luck man!

Thanks for the nice comments. Really appreciate them. Is it 8th and 17th that maybe you are thinking they are similar? Just wondering. If so thought that it would be ok as they arent in the same direction and 8th is a bit longer than the 17th. 17th much more dangerous drive though with the water left so I thought those reasons were enough even though you are correct in that they have very similar drives. I've been amazed on the 17th that I've not seen anyone yet on the plays I've seen or people who've played with me or play tested that I dont know anyone who's taken a 3W or 5W off that tee and minimise the risk. Must admit though that it was in my thoughts with these 2 holes to give the players hitting the fast drives on purpose more of a challenge 😉 Given that they are shorter Par4s.

You too thanks. Great job by Avakrac covering your course.
Oh I was mistaken also in a comment above, my course has been given Tour Worthy, the email just saying Approved threw me, I didnt realise the email would be the same for Approved and worthy. Worthy shows in the designer profile in case anyone wants to check their own as I'm sure alot of the courses I've seen so far will be Tour Worthy.

Would very much like to know more on how that’s rated or labeled. Seems like a lot of really good courses should at least be worthy. Don’t necessarily think they must be selected to host a tournament but at least it might give the tournament director more choices when making that decision. Not sure how that process currently works so if anyone would like to chime in on that I would appreciate it. Congrats again Allan!
