Web.com Week 22 - Oakmere

[theclv24]

Last Week


Explorer Ridge played as the easiest course since Gewella 6 weeks ago, as expected. Some welcomed the rare birdie fest, while others prefer to avoid the easy courses and always play the harder courses. I think settling in at 1 easy course every 6 weeks or so might be the key. It did produce some very tight finishes in Web A and Web B.

This Week


A great course here in Oakmere. The scores should be harder to come by this week, although unsure where this one rank in the difficulty spectrum. All feedback welcome.


Next Week


The G.C. of Pennsylvania (Tour). My thoughts on the course are located here: tgctours.proboards.com/thread/3282/pensylvania-tour

Let's please roll all feedback on future courses into the weekly feedback thread here. The main focus is on next week, but also feel free to comment on weeks farther out here rather than creating a new thread.

Course Poll


This week's poll is requesting feedback on Crow Creek as a potential tournament site in the coming months, potentially during the week of the PGA Championship. This is a tough course with fast greens, and the Countryside theme in my mind could match the courses in Kansas or Missouri that will be hosting the Web.com a few times in July and August. I played my first round in -4 last night in what I would consider a very casual round. So it's a tough course, but certainly playable. I know Web A likes a good tough test sometimes, so here is your chance to give it a spin. For the B and C crowd, your feedback is also very welcome, as you may or may not still be rolled in with Web A at the time that this tournament would be hosted.

Well Oakmere is my first tournament but I played Pinehurst from 2 weeks ago and Explorer Ridge this week just for fun and I have to say that it is my favorite so far. It has some really tough holes but they are all score-able with good shots.

Hole 13 is my worst enemy but it was favorite hole during the practice rounds so I am a bit conflicted. I played it to the tune of +6 in the first 2 days and will probably miss the cut because of it

65-68 for me could of been 62-65 without those 2 triple bogeys. I think it will take a 130 or so to make the cut but we shall see.

9/10 for Oakmere from me

Oakmere - love it, I've scored really well, but I had to shape a lot of shots to stay on the fairway, avoid bunkers. If you can get it close to the pin, putting is a doddle, but you've got to stick it on & avoid the slopes.

one of my favourite courses on the Web tour so far.

haven't played crow yet, but I will.

I've played Crow Creek a couple of times a few weeks ago when it first got released and remember thinking at the time that id love to play it on tour but thinking it would be on the PGA tour as it's quite challenging.

I love a challenge so I say hell yes bring it on. Maybe too tough for some though but I'd enjoy it.

As for Oakmere, it's one of the best courses in the game, I would probably enjoy the greens being sped up to offer a greater challenge as I'm sure the green contours could take it. However, it's still a challenge in its own right with a lot of shot shaping involved. I wouldn't mind Rivington Hall on tour aswell, another by the same designer. I'd understand if it went to PGA though as it's slightly tougher than Oakmere.

looking foward to this week's course. played a couple practice rounds yesterday at oakmere and missing fairways is definitely a no-no on this course. i dont think theres a single patch of light rough. i also had 13-15mph wind so i was happy with escaping with a -2. looking forward to playing the first 2 rounds tonight. hoping to stay around the -5 area to hopefully make a push later this week. i have to go out of town on friday so gonna have to complete 8 rounds by the end of thurs (us open qualifying) so i was thrilled when my gf said she would be out of town the next two days ha ha

voted a yes to crow creek, even though its tough. Tight firm fairways & fast greens not usually my cup of tea, but 5 birdies & 4 bogies was ok for a 1st go. it's gonna be tough, but if we are fed up of -10 & -12's every round we need courses like this to keep us interested. Just don't make it between 22 June & 4 July as I'm on me holes, & I wanna play it again.

I love Crow Creek, so I voted yes. I would love to see it on tour, as I think it will be a good challenge.
