Myself, Team Petty, and Co. present the Carbondale Mining Company.
Set high in the Rockies, the course is the site of an old mining camp and ghost town, inspired by Animas Forks in CO. As a tribute to the site, four mine shafts (behind the 2nd, 6th, 11th, and 17th greens) and pieces of the railroad have been preserved, and the old railroad station was transformed into the clubhouse.
In addition to the standard contest routing, there is also a Whiskey routing which incorporates 2 new greens and 4 new fairways. The remaining holes play in a different order and from different angles/lengths than they do in the standard routing. All 24 holes fit within the 1,000,000 square yard requirement.

 Some of the coolest routing and definitely a favorite set of finishing holes with 15-thru-18. Crazy fun. 5 was my favorite though. #TeamPetty4Lyfe |

This was unreal. Texturing worked amazingly and the bunkers were awesome. Honestly, this course had some of my favorite holes in this game so far. Some crazy good looks. Team Petty is looking pretty damn good right now.

Another course with another unique look. The texture blending in the heavy rough here looks wonderful, so many blue-tones really give it that rugged, cold feel. The fairways here have such interesting undulations that it makes it hard to predict how your ball will land. Combining that with the constant elevation changes and quite scary looking bunkers, I felt uncertain over almost every shot. I never felt like I was on flat ground here and had to constantly gauge how much the slopes would affect my shot. Hole 17 might've been the single most cragged hole I've ever played, such good use of terrain that really fit the theme of the course. 10/10, would overthink my every shot again.

My dude. I was a big fan of your Tufts Club courses, and the recent The Shamblin' Shabbaroon with Jivesinator was choice. However, this course is definitely my favorite so far from you. I spent most of my life in Colorado, and this hands down nailed the mountain valley meadow environment. The off-course planting is perfect, and the wild grasses are on point with meadows I have seen in real mountain valleys. I don't have anything negative to say about this one... but as member of the Red Team, I must say...  ...  |

Immaculate work man, each hole was just great overall

Absolutely brilliant course. It's just so much fun to play. So many opportunities to play creative shots using the slopes. It's definitely a thinking man's golf course. Feels so great when you nail the exact shot you visualized. And the environment is beautiful and really makes you feel like you're in Colorado.

Very good job! Lots of detail with the planting and overall feel of this course. Loved the elevation changes and they really make you think before taking a shot.
Clubhouse was subtle was very well done. The road leading up and the parking lot was my favourite part! The par 3’s were definitely done to perfection! Good job!

Loved the look a feel of this one, the openness of everything and the views across the course were phenomenal. The sculpting of the fairways and greens was definitely the highlight for me though, awesome work man..
