Welcome to Old Onion! This is my entry into this years rookie design contest! After the success of Ohoopee Match Club, it was decided that the members needed another exclusive 18 holes just to themselves. So the adjacent land was purchased and thus Old Onion Match Club (referred to the Old Onion by the members) was born. Little known fact is both courses now sit on land that was once purchased with the intent of becoming an onion farm, which never actually happened. With the tips clocking in at just under 7300 yards, it can provide a decent challenge depending on the wind direction, but there are plenty of scoring opportunities throughout the round. Inspiration of course was initially Ohoopee, but we wanted a course that provided a different experience. With Ohoopee solely being designed with match play in mind, a course that could serve as a stroke play venue was the intent with Old Onion. There’s plenty of width to the fairways but watch out if you catch the waste areas, you might lose a couple balls! Enjoy some terrible screenshots from my Xbox!

Gonna be a tough contest. Definitely not looking like a “rookie contest to me”. Tons of really strong courses.

Gave this a run tonight and really enjoyed it, some of the green sites are great and remind me of British courses where they are tucked into some trees.
Shot a fairly decent score once I got the putter working, definitely had to think about the approach into greens and which kicker slope to use!
Good luck in the competition, I'm sure you won't need it!

Well done man this course was a blast. Really thought the routing was cool seeing a bunch of greens you’ve played or are about to play. 3 par 5s and 3 par 3s was cool too with back to back of each. Great use of the land movement which played fun too. Had a pleasant round of -6 with light wind. Good luck in the comp!

Really great job! I loved the approach into 16- what a great shot. I bounded it down onto the green, so satisfying. Your planting was lovely.
