My top 3 are intact thus far, but my rankings 16 - 9 are all over the place.

If only I'd given it an Irish name... I just couldn't get that darn song out of my head while playing. Drove me mad I tell ya The song would have been the same; it originated in Ireland. It was a last minute decision to change the course from being Irish to Hebridean. That's why the flags are green. |

Yeah unlucky Adam, was great fun to play... which was a surprise, I am normally on my knees by hole 2 with the words "finish him" echoing from the distant voices of the golfing gods.
Likewise it was slightly higher on my list but I imagine many of these were very close.

Well, dang... As much as I hate losing, the writing's been on the wall for awhile now, and I'm pleasantly surprised to have squeezed into the top half. I'm fairly confident it'll be a tour stop, which is pretty awesome, since it would be my first one. Disappointed that it won't be on the Web, but I hear you get a lot more plays on a certain lower-level tour... Glad you guys appreciated the minimalism of the course. Going in, the last thing I would've expected is to make something too easy!  I made a conscious decision to avoid firming up the greens for firm's sake, since we've seen enough of those recently, IMO. Expected the slope of the greens to trip up quite a few folks, but you guys are just too good, I guess. Thanks to Shane, Ola, and Seth for running and judging this contest! It was a fun experience, and it allowed me to create something that I wouldn't have made otherwise, which is always good. Thanks again to everyone who's played my course, and especially to those who have given me (mostly positive) feedback. Good luck to the remaining seven! |

I could easily see it on a regular web tour stop or any CC event. You showed that you can make a great course that plays great and looks great without getting crazy on the old plant metre. |

 Web.com Design Contest 7th Place Dehesas Pristinas by Pablo Alonso - pablo Highest Individual Placing : 3rd Pro: The best thing about Dehesas is something most TGC players won't ever experience. This course gets better for each time you play it. The way this game works with all the fantastic courses out there is that we play a course once and we move on. It's a real shame to begin with, but that also means that courses like Dehesas won't get the full credit it deserves unless it gets put on tour. It looks like a real course and feels like a real course even if it does have some minor flaws aesthetically. The greens were excellent in its firm setting yet still not too much for the average golfer to handle. Good scores can most definitely be found here but you really need to be careful not to get caught on the greens as a miss hit could be disastrous. Oh... nice work on the retaining walls by the way. We had a blast playing here. Con: It's true that finding flaws in the courses in this competition has been a challenge on its own and it doesn't get easier the further up we go, but there are a few areas where this course could be improved. Mostly with planting and the crooked / tilted cart paths. If you add something make it right and the cart paths could have used some more attention and we felt the Web.com logo could have needed some more attention as well. Another thing that was mentioned was the fairway on #1. Why was there a tree in front of the fairway and why was that fairway the obvious pick from the tee on #9? These negatives are all about looks and presentation and that is what it comes down to. Does this course contain the best holes and the best greens in the competition or is it the best one in terms of play-ability? No. It's not, but there is nothing to complain about in those aspects either. Summary: We won't lie. We were split on this course as you can see it was ranked as high as 3rd by one judge, but still only end up in 7th. We all agree though that this course was real fun with and very well done overall . Just make sure to hand out helmets in the club house because we will use that #1 fairway more than once and the tee shot is blind. (Please PM all complaints to Seth he might answer you ) |
