I have no tips. I’m a player not a designer. But I think they look great! Keep up the good work.

Bunker work on steep uphill Par 3 over dunes. Path with stairs leading up to green on right. |

Finally finished the rough routing. Might tweak a hole or two, especially the 18th, which only has markers set.
The opening hole reveals what's to come: gnarly blowout bunkers, sandy waste areas, and picturesque views along the Oregon coast. Cross bunkers dominate the view on the Par-5 first hole. The safe shot is a 3 wood to the left side of the fairway in front of the bunkers, opening the 2nd shot towards the green. A long tee shot can carry the bunkers - often helped by prevailing southerly winds - and allow a small chance at reaching the green in two but errant shots will be punished.
The second shot on the first hole is challenging. The fairway slopes right to left on most lies, ushering the ball left towards the bunkering along the left side of the approach.
The second hole introduces the ocean. Balls over the green are likely to be consumed by the Pacific, so a careful shot into the green is what counts on the mid-length Par 3. A shaped shot will be required to hold the correct portion of the green depending on hole location.
Here is a view across several of the first several holes - revealing a rustic dunescape with the vastness of the Pacific as the backdrop. In the center of the image is the landing area for the Par-5 5th hole, a downhill dogleg left perched between dunes and a sandy waste area. In the distance is the lone pine that stands perched over the 3rd green, useful as an aiming point for uphill approach shots on the Par-4 along the cliffs.
