This evening the Dirty Ankle Mafia will be releasing 3 new courses
Wears Valley by Me BullKraken Island (Par 3) by Babybull and VctryLnSprts Silvis Valley by Mayday91283
We will be streaming all three tonight at 8:30 EST over at Victors twitch channel, stop by and say hello
Wears Valley is my latest: It began when I asked VctryLnSprts if he wanted to build me a plot and a close routing which he did...So I built a course on it and like the way it turned out... This is the first course Ive designed my own greens since Woodford park.... I had my 13 year old daughter to "color check" it for me but I think they turned out pretty decent for a color blind hack
Anyway Wears Valley is a real location in Tennessee and to be honest Im not sure theres anywhere in the real valley that looks like this, but I drove through there a couple years ago and thought it was a beautiful location for a fictional Grayson design so here we are... Lots of elevation changes and its makes it play shorter so I tried to make the greens a little tougher than normal but I have no idea if I succeeded
Hope you enjoy it.. We all will publish later this afternoon
Particulars:
3 tees (Black are the tips) 4 pins (Not sure which is toughest, I tried to mix it up)
Par: 72
Yardage: Red: 6474 Gold: 6619 Black: 7227
Northwest winds are pretty fun as are due west... Medium to High is fun...
Enjoy and any feedback welcomed

Got my striped athletic socks, jorts, and American flag tank top in the bag ready to play in the AM. Make sure you put Pixel down for a tee time!

Absolute joy to play this one. Greens played great and the course was really scenic. Great work, Terry!

Terry Grayson , this was a thing of beauty! Loved the change in elevation and fairway camber placing a premium on the drive. Fairways were quite narrow but not penal. The bunkering was unique and well done. Greens and contouring required premium approach shots below the hole on most. Highlight... the drive from 14 looking waaaaay down the hill with the houses to the left nestled into the slope and then back up the hill to the green. Lovely environment, lovely course! mayday_golf83 , RCR right? Hah hah. Felt sooooo natural and for me these are the fictional courses that stick in my mind. 5-start fav. Perfect colour pallette and lighting. Looked simple but chock full of strategy with a very undulating plot. The farming property at one end of the course and the river running along the length of 2 or 3 holes near the end of the back 9 were the icing on the cake in terms of environment. Would love to see a course routing of Silvis Valley. Great work! Interested as to what courses were your inspiration for Silvis Valley? Both courses were a joy to play! Cheers EDIT... did experience a lot of "stutter" on Silvis Valley on the Series X all the way around unfortunately. PITA! Didn't detract from the swing and tempo but a little annoying watching the ball in flight and panning. That'll teach me for playing console I guess!

I enjoyed my round on this course, I liked the challenging greens and changes in elevation. The houses and surroundings had an Arctic Fury feel to them and I liked the way you done the steps on the back of the course.
