Hey everyone! First time posting on this forum, and it’s from an iPhone so for the life of me I wasn’t able to find how to put images on here.
Here’s the original link to the Reddit thread if you want to check out some more pics:

Point State Park has been live for about a week and I’m hoping to get a little more feedback from this community.
Description: Set in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. This unique course features stunning views of the city, the fountain at the Point, and of the surrounding mountains/hills. The design of this course was inspired by the type of tracks you would see in western Pennsylvania, and some features have some Seth Raynor influences.
Accuracy is a MUST here. This is not a course where the player can wail driver on each hole. Low scores will require shot shaping and smart decision making off the tee. The fairways don’t have a ton of slope (for the most part) but they are narrow, and tree lined, with many doglegs. Don’t expect to be able to hit a straight ball on each hole.
The green complexes are tiered and undulated. Leaving your shot on the wrong side of the hole can lead to some very difficult putts. The greens are medium sized, and most have steep false fronts that will eat up a poorly hit shot.
Many of the bunkers on this course have steep grass faces, which are quintessential of Seth Raynor designed courses. It’s not uncommon to have a bunker face that’s 5-8 feet tall. Sand traps on this course can be extremely penalizing, especially off the tee. Getting too close to the lip can result in an automatic layup instead of being able to go for the green.
