I don't usually do WIP threads but I thought this would be an interesting one as it is not a contest course & is definitely going to play quirky (says a lot coming from me) I am working on a course inspired heavily by Chicago Golf Club. I really turned the MacRaynor-ness of it to the max. The course is almost dead flat. The plot was 100% flat when I started but I have been doing micro ridges & dips within each hole, especially between the tee & start of fairway. I have had an idea since I started Estuary Club I have really wanted to build a pure template course. A flat plot, geometric to the max, and insane greens. Of course, my brain goes directly to Chicago GC when this came up, as that course truly is templates at its core. I started this course about a month ago, while finishing Falmouth Neck, before I got sidetracked by working on a par 3 course. I am done with 17 of the 18 holes, and am working on grass planting & off-course stuff. The name Hickory Fields has no relation to Mattf's Hickory Creek . Can't wait for this one! I am hoping there will be a members & tournament versions, with the tournament version hopefully being difficult enough to host a pro level event on TGC Tours (we'll see). For now, enjoy some glamour shots:
