Top of the City Proper is my entry into this years Dream Team 2024 on behalf of team Ryno, under the "no one cares" (console) design flight.
Required elements listed below:
- no water.
no water on the entire plot or surrounding visuals (maybe there's a puddle somewhere...)
- Four green sites each within 200 yards of each other. Measure from inside edge of each green (i.e. closest point to the others).
Greens 8, 10, 12 and 15 are well within 200 years of each other.

- Entire course to be contained in square/rectangular 1,000,000 yard area (e.g. 1000x1000, 800x1250 etc). Set a perimeter early.
Split the playable plot into two squares. Total Square Yardage is 973,000.

- 3 par fours sub-400 yards
Hole 1(361y), 5(380y), 8(397y), 10(316y), 15(361y)

- Max elevation change from low point to high point on the plot is 50ft.
At 49ft from highest point on the plot to lowest point in the barranca
Course is lower CC difficulty, be prepared to shoot well under-par.
Course is broken up into Modern takes on templates, some very literal, to some more creative takes.
1. Cape **Don't worry, I don't have internal OB.**
2. Thumbprint
3. Tillinghast's Great Hazard
6. Principals nose (excluding the bone bunker) to a non double plateau green
8. Bottle
9. Hog's Back with a sprinkle of Bottle
11. Valley + Maiden - this is traditional in the sense if you imagined the tee shot to this green was where your drive ended... if you placed it in the fairway off the bat. It is a blind approach (you can make out the pin from the valley floor to the green which is a traditional back to front, with added guarding left bunker, internal slope between 2 plateaus on the top ridge and fall offs at the back, right and front. To make matters worst, a guarding approach bunker short to catch any hesitant hackers.
13. Road Hole
15. Alps (but on a drivable par 4 rather than the approach) to a punchbowl green.
16. Biarritz (with a funky back portion of the green) - tested with a 3-wood punch and rolls in nice.
3: Great Hazard

7: Tee Shot - 2nd of 2 600+ yard par 5s with the Hydro poll aiming post. Largest green on the property

13: Road Hole (if you do not have a favourable wind and you lay-up left of the corner bunker, you will have a VERY long 2nd shot to a difficult-to-hold green
