Maybe my worst first 2 rounds on TGC. Over par at the cut. Entire back 9 was laggy for me. Demotion marks all day. Btw, were they totally fixed? I'm going to guess that's a no on the demotion mark fix? Edit: what I'm talking about is there was a message that said there was an issue with promo marks. It looks like some people had their marks wiped out since then.

Is this a joke? This is the best we have to play?

Can't decide who I despise more at present. The designers of these stupid courses we're forced to endure week in, week out, the schedulers who combine these ridiculous courses with the most unsuitable conditions for the stupid courses, or HB for taking a potentially superb game and destroying it with unplayable tempo issues for a select few whilst others clearly have no issue with tempo at all. I'll say all of you at this point. The only reason I'm playing the game is force of habit, not enjoying this tour one bit. Thanks all. It's ok to walk away...

If I walk away the game has won, as has everyone else that wants me to 😂

Any background on how this one was designed? Did designer find green heatmap/greenmaps, watch videos, etc.? Don't want to jump to conclusions without being informed, thanks in advance to whoever can help me outwith the request.

Just an absolute brilliant design. One of the best rcr's in the game.
However, I'm never one to complain about hole locations. But yikes. That was a bit silly.
So many of them could have been really awesome pins if they were just moved 2 or 3 feet.
Just 10 footer after 10 footer with the holes on orange slopes got a bit tedious by the end.

www.tgctours.com/Course/Details/23929An interested onlooker rather than someone who's actively played it. Same positions as the US Open from last year, by the guy who made St Andrews and Augusta. I reckon it's probably pretty accurate and therefore dicey seems about right.

Seems a lot of you must not have watched the U.S. Open last year. Greens are every bit as wild as you're seeing on the game.

To be clear, my question was open ended and curious, not one of condemnation. I’m very comfortable saying I watched my fair share of the US Open played here irl, plus some. Yes, crazy putts, I’m more interested in the entire greens contouring and how that was determined, so I’ll check the link provided. That’s all I was asking. Cheers.
Edit: we’ll nvm that’s just a link to the courses database page. I’ll try to figure it out later. Asking a question in general doesn’t mean drawing into question the designers ability or skill, nor accuracy, honestly was just a question...a bit frustrating to feel it’s met with assumptions about intent and hostility. Anyway, fun, demanding, frustrating course, as it should be - something I was going to get around to saying once I was done with all 4. GL all.

-30 at the close, R3 screwed me w/ a very average -4. Also missed a bunch down the stretch, including putting off the green on 12 from 8’ with a dead straight birdie putt that decided it would like to turn.
Awesome course, really enjoyed it!

Lol, always fun tiptoeing into a tournament thread after finding out one of my courses is being used.
Apparently I'm worthy of being despised and I just threw a course together without any resources. I see all is well and things never change.

You made me miss a cut (again)
