Started a new track in 2K23 which will be a boreal theme set alongside a lake with elevation changes and tight tree-lined holes.
Front 9 is all surfaced, and the base trees have been added, just a lot of fine sculpting and planting left to do.
Questioning if I should plant underbrush or go with pine straw for the inner groves of trees.
Front 9: Par 34 (3 par 3's / 5 par 4's / 1 par 5)
Back 9: Par 37 (2 par 3's / 4 par 4's / 3 par 5's)
Hole 1: Mid-length par 4 which runs alongside the creek.
Hole 2: Short Par 4 that can be reached with a severe left-to-right shot shape. Laying up with a shorter club is the safer option.
Hole 3: Long par 3 with a green that feeds the ball in from right to left.
Hole 4: Short uphill par 4. Find the fairway and you'll be hitting a wedge pitch shot in.
Hole 5: Long downhill par 4 with two center-line bunkers. Avoid those and you're hitting a mid-iron in depending on wind.
Hole 6: Short par 3 shooting out towards the lake. Don't go long or right.
Hole 7: Mid length par 5 but the +60 feet of elevation to the green makes this hole play much longer. This hole can be shortened by clearing the left side with your drive but requires an overpower or tailwind to reach.
Hole 8: Drivable par 4 where the green is guarded by a center-line bunker. Great view of the lake and clubhouse on the tee.
Hole 9: Mid-length par 3 hitting over the small lake into a green that is tucked next to the lake and the creek outlet. Day 4 pin will be a tough target.
Hole 10: Mid-Length par 4 with a fairway that camber's right to left.
Hole 11: Drivable par 4 with the wind at your back.
Hole 12: Long par 4 that can play much shorter with a tail wind. Drive it too far and you flirt with the pond at the bottom of the hill.
Hole 13: Long par 3 down the hill with a view of the lake in the background.
Hole 14: Long par 5 that runs along the lake. 3 shot hole with a headwind.
Hole 15: Mid-length par 5 with a green perched on a hill.
Hole 16: Short par 4 that can be gettable with the right conditions but is very risky.
Hole 17: Mid-length par 3 with a nice view of the lake.
Hole 18: Mid-length par 5 with a green perched above the small lake.

Hole 2: Drivable par 4 that runs along the creek and requires a huge left-to-right shape in order to make the green in one, otherwise laying up with a hybrid/3i is the safe play.
