My entry for the Dream Team Contest (Red Team) is a short, hilltop course in Wales. It is rugged and bunkerless, inspired by some of the old hilltop courses in the area (Welshpool and Kington in particular). Have fun and be sure to play with the winds crackin'. Here is a link to one of the courses I looked at when coming up with the concept... Welshpool Tour - Golf Course Atlas As far as the elements for the contest that I focused on... I chose the following: - At least two holes with zero bunkers (Bunker-free course) - At least 5 par 3s (6 total - 3rd, 6th, 10th, 12th, 15th & 17th) - At least three par 4s under 400 yards (4th - 322 yards, 9th - 394 yards, 13th - 341 yards & 16th - 335 yards)  |

Always great to have a skinnie publish. Played this last night in high winds and cranked conditions as suggested and found many many many of the sandless hazard areas. 6400 yards but it feels much longer at times and also somehow even shorter than that at times thanks to a really fun plot and routing and depending on the wind direction you get. Enjoyed the bell ringer in the middle of 2 fairway, because of course there is a bell ringer... but 16 was probably my favorite hole. Good stuff buddy and good luck with the matchups!

This is just pure golf. Ground game over target golf every time. Classic Skinnie stuff.

Not sure if it was the UK theme to it i enjoyed this one so much i played it 3 times can't remember when i played a fictional course that many times.Just a stunning course and so much fun to play Just super.Those little Flowers caught my eye around the greens and tees not sure if i liked them or not,but one thing is for sure the golf course a rare none real one straight into my favourites wonderful design.

This is an incredibly well done bunkerless course, Im attempting something similar but in a different style, this is showing me how to do it right!

Wow this course was a blast! Played it in high winds and man, some of those par 3s can be down right turds! Loved the bunkerless concept as well. I think this is a very much overlooked tactic when it comes to designing especially for this game where bunkers aren’t really that difficult to play from. I’m actually a little sad that you made this considering I’ve been scoping out Berkhamsted GC hard for the last few weeks thinking a bunkerless course would be pretty neat and you beat me to it! However, I’m glad someone with your skill decided to take on a project like this because you really did it justice. I also really liked the micro undulations and the “worn” walking paths. They were a great little touch and added a lot of charm. Great job on this one and good luck in the comp!

I can really see the Llandrindod Wells and Welshpool in this one. Great job, well done!
