First off, I just wanted to thank everyone for playing on my courses this week. To have any course featured on an event this year is absolutely amazing and I'm so thrilled for the opportunity.
Now, if possible, I would love to hear ANY AND ALL feedback about my course. I don't care if it's bad or good I want to hear it. No point continuing to create if I never get any better... And what way to get better than ask the guys who played four rounds on my course for some feedback.
Thanks again for playing and commenting. It really does mean a lot.

Thanks for the course, the wide open fairways served as a nice reprieve from the pin point accuracy that was required in the last few tournament courses.

I enjoyed the course. The par 5's were fun, most reachable in 2 (unless trolled by the tournament winds) and allowed for some fun shots trying to get close to the pin for eagle, or double eagle if very lucky. Greens were fair, no ridiculous huge slopes around the hole like another course where one hole was way overboard. Elevation off the tee's were fun shots.
Only thing I really didn't care for was the fall theme, that's because I'm Canadian, fall means winter is coming, I want to see lush green courses, not reminders of the hell that is coming. lol Thats not a dig at your or your course by the way.
Over all I think this was a great fit for the CC level.

I live in ohio so while not quite Canada the fall isn't quite my favorite theme either. But I really do like to make my par 5s fun and I am very glad you enjoyed them and the course. Good luck with your future events mate.

Even though I'm on web now I still play turn based live with a CCA buddy. This course was an excellent fit for CC I think. The last hole is a beauty. The fact it still played fair(albeit naturally harder) in 15 mph winds is a sign of a good course.

Absolutely loved the course Ninja... Perfect fit for us... I played it in practice very well, then in tourney time, as my norm, I choke ha ha..
Had an ace on 16 in the first round...
Not overly difficult, easy on the eyes... Thoroughly enjoyed it, even though my play cost me numerous strokes....HA
Great work

I've warmed up to the course. I think it's a fair test of golf with a nice mix of holes and some good risk/reward looks on the par 5s. My only beef remains the 18th green only because I'm not a fan of fantasy course elements.

And I'm not trying to fight with you here or anything but I feel that 18 isn't a fantasy type of hole. Can you explain why you feel that way?

It's a lovely course, really well designed and the best compliment I can give it is that it looks like a pretty easy course (especially in comparison to some of the ones we've had lately) but breaking par is actually not that simple at all. Not for us guys down in CC-E at any rate.

I've never seen a green on an elevated plateau like that and the rest of the course is designed well enough that I don't think it needs a "gimmick" like that.

I've never seen a green on an elevated plateau like that and the rest of the course is designed well enough that I don't think it needs a "gimmick" like that. It's a tough hole..but no where near the toughest on the course. I'd take 2 or 3 like 18 if I could swap out #7 and #10 . My home course has a similar hole like #18 where you tee off over a valley. Land in the valley and you're faced with a shot up to a green 50-60 ft above you. I've seen similar holes..but yes..it can be tough if you get trapped down below.

Have enjoyed playing your course so far Ninja. I don't mind 18 - it's classic risk/reward. Go for the green or lay up. Ist tournament round in 14mph I was -3 starting the 17th and bogeyed 17 & 18 Grrrrr! Swore I'd never go for 18 in two again. So what did I do in round 2? Yeah you got it, went for it again but this time had a bit of following wind and made the green in 2 and got my birdie so sweet revenge. Good work - keep designing - it's what makes this game great.

Good course with a ton of sucker pins! Could have played a few strokes better if I didn't play so aggressive.. Very smart design for the most part.
