We lcome to Tamil Nadu Ridge. My entry into the Rookie Design Competition for 2021-2022. Tamil Nadu is a state in southern India. Lying in the southern-most part of the Indian subcontinent. The course Is built on its natural land which is situated just off the coastal line offering undulating, elevated holes whilst providing a good challenge for all levels in all conditions. With stunning scenery (especially at low light) top notch practice facilities Offering 4 pin sets and 3 tees measuring at 7055 yards from the tips and a Par 70. I recommend playing on pin set 2 as these were the pins the course was designed around. Greens designed at 187 toned down to 174. Really enjoyed designing this one, I feel this is a step up on my previous course. (which I guess is the target for each designer) I would like to thank everyone who played betas and offered advice especially from my fellow greens keepers for there feedback throughout! Also to the organisers and upcoming judges for there time. Grab your clubs and hope you enjoy your round. Feedback/criticism welcome!!

Lovely relaxing island track. Cool island plot i.imgur.com/2esa2SE.jpgKickass clubhouse i.imgur.com/lCeW6xD.jpgLovely putting green with great views i.imgur.com/Iu9R1pi.jpgAlso has a great range with safety fencing i.imgur.com/MMGlmnM.jpgThe planting looked great and a good change of elevation to boot. That's a tricky little 14th down the hill with the bunker the same sizer as the green. I had a cross-hill cross-wind 3H into 15 that was almost perfect. My 27 footer on 18 deserved better as well. Great course and gave it 5 stars.

Wow! Great environment. Very creative and the golf plays superb. Congrats!! Thanks Cashman glad you enjoyed it. Did you score well? Shot an -8. I play on the easy level because I suck (much like my real golf game) so take it for what it’s worth. I thought the greens were great though. Had a lot of good looks when I put my approach shot close. So created some good scoring opportunities. If you get a chance to play my contest entry let me know what you think. Thanks!

skillman85Yes has absolutely nothing to do with the course or the playability, just find myself going for pins when that's not always the best play !! Good course
