    One of my least fav courses. Any course that thinks 300+ plus yards is a par 3 misses the point of golf. Mind you, if I were designing I wouldnt have a par 3 longer than 170.

    Yeah I think there's so many more creative ways at making courses harder than just making them longer. I want the best players to be punished for not hitting fairways

    I want to see par 3s that really test short iron accuracy. There is nothing better on golf than a 9 iron that needs to land on a 10 foot saucer or you are 25 feet away. Give them a 125 yard par 3, surround it by sand and water. Much more exciting to watch (and play). No real shock the best holes in golf are the short par 3s that bring real jeopardy to a score card.

    it’s an ugly brute of a course. Some holes are just a bit dumb. And there’s a freeway running through the middle of it.

    Completely mixes up the leaderboard though. I like that aspect.
