Hi all. I entered the National Treasure Contest in 2022, and this was my entry (simply called Moynihan Trails). I imported the course in and gave it a few plays, bearing in mind the feedback I got from that contest, specifically from trailducker and jwtexan . I reduced the openness considerably, while maintaining the integrity of the "wide open space" vibe I was going for with Wyoming. I also leaned further into the "4 sets of tees and no specifically 'back' tee" comment. I had tried to make the course playable from all tees previously, but the Golds were still obviously the "back" tees overall, even if there was manipulation done. This go round I made all the tees within 150 yards of one another, meaning the course plays between 7050 and 7200 yards. Each tee creates a unique experience and is wed to a specific pin set, meaning that this course is now ideal for tournament play. In addition, I designed the greens to play up to 186, though they are defaulted to medium-fast. Tee-pin combinations for all days and potential "tournament" conditions that make the course play the most difficult are shown below:
Gold tee = Pin 4 (SE wind, high or very high) Black tee = Pin 3 (NW wind, medium or high) Blue tee = Pin 2 (E wind, medium) Green tee = Pin 1 (W wind, high)
Some may find the Golds to not be the most challenging tee set either. I've had some of my toughest rounds here from the Blues and Greens.
