Great course Adam - very strategic and a lovely plot you've created here. Good luck bud!

What a great course you have created Sir, love the colors and the subtle planting. Course plays great too, GL in the contest..

As always I love the super integrated routing where all angles are considered. The low profile environment is beautifully executed.. Your courses are always ones that I wish I could play as a member. They are not overly penal yet filled with so much interest on every shot. Really great work.

Absolutely love this one Adam, back 9 stands out especially. That subtle green site elevation on 13 to provide that overlook gave me chills.

I miss the b!tch bunker on 14 though lol

It was really fun watching you work on this one here and there. Getting a little peak at the Grovey thought process was a real treat. Can't wait to play this one (on stream???) with you!

I have Falling Water tattooed on my shoulder so I got to play this 😁

Wow, that's pretty legit man! I have been there twice a long time ago but might actually be setting up a quick trip later this year. Hope you enjoyed your round and the clubhouse too.

You wait awhile for a WCoD course to drop and then 3 come in quick succession. Nice.

It wouldn't be like a grovey course to test your mettle. I took my time to get going here but eventually found a bit of a groove on the back 9 to at least card a few birds. A very enjoyable test first time round and I'll be back for a 2nd round in higher winds soon.

Nice to see group H join the party and in fine style too.

Thanks for the play and the positive feedback. Might not be the most "wow" course in the contest but I wanted to test angles, roll out, and create interesting greens so I'm glad you felt you had to think your way around. That is always my ultimate goal. Thanks again and I hope you have a similar experience on the other pin sets and higher winds.

Course looks pretty straight forward until you actually start playing. The strategy needed is top notch. Well placed bunkers, fairway undulations that take you where you don’t want to be and green slopes that can really help or really be a pain in the arse if you don’t attack correctly. Managed a solid -3 but definitely had to work for it. Well done, sir! Will for sure be back for more. Good luck in the competition

Thanks a lot for the play and the positive feedback. I'll quote what you said as one of my favorite comments I've got so far: "Course looks pretty straight forward until you actually start playing.". This is exactly what I was going for and pretty well sums up the course. Thanks again for the positive feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the strategy. Hope you come back and enjoy the other pinsets.

I appreciate that and thanks for the play! Good luck to you with your Holland course by the way, I hope you find some good vibes working on that one.

I’ve never been! 😭😭 haha but been to the one FLW house here in Oregon.

I have arch nerdy tattoos of Falling Water, Farnsworth House and the Sydney Oprah House and have a planned one for Gaudí

Thanks Rob, I always appreciate your feedback and your comment about being a member of the course is one of my favorites. I remember you said that about The Kingdom as well. Glad you picked up on the subtleties here and I'm curious which features or holes caught your eye the most? 

[trailducker]

And the course was great! Loved how wide open it is, fun for those of us that don’t want to grip and rip but think where to hit to. Good luck in the competition!

Thanks a lot Thomas, I appreciate it. My favorite stretch of holes starts on 9 and the 13th green was one of my favorites to build. Funny you should mention that little bunker on 14... I was on the fence about it since it came into existence. I actually loved it too and thought it would be a cool feature but as I was doing playtesting, I never hit a single shot into it. I said to myself during the final playthroughs that if I hit just one shot into it, it would stay. Low and behold, I never did so it came out hahaha so that's the backstory on the lil b!tch bunker on 14

I mean, it's alright, I guess.

Great course buddy and should be a contender. So much subtle stuff here that I'm sure I didn't pick up on first time around. Will get you some hole by holes once I've played more pinsets in return for your kind comments.

Thanks Ben, obviously very interested in your more specific feedback. I'm glad to hear you picked up on the subtleties out there as I actually focused on those more than anything else.
