I Stink at this Game

OMG, this game can be so frustrating! I can't seem to break 80 no matter what I do. If I wanted this kind of humiliation, I'd go out on the real courses more often. Anybody else struggle with some aspect of the game? My putting is particularly woeful. I am *not* the 0 handicap the game seems to thin...

Rabbit Hole

I loaded up the game, and played Jim Hall's latest creation. It's a good one, a very strong par 70, with one of the par 5's being a true three shot hole. The blends are very even and smooth, and the terrain shaping is finely touched. I particularly enjoyed the 18th hole. Well done, friend.

Re: Chicken or the Egg? "Land" or "Holes?"

But, I enjoy engaging the Architect most when following Polslad's way of working a small group of holes around a particular feature - I'd say that Augusta's Amen Corner has a lot to answer for here, but perhaps it's magnificence is due purely to familiarity. It's been a recent revelation, but I thi...

Re: Chicken or the Egg? "Land" or "Holes?"

Thanks! I have started building a course on the old Deadman's Bluff contest plot. Still testing a few ideas for it. I do agree that it's easier to start with a land form in mind, it's just...a matter of what you can tweak the designer to give you.

Re: Chicken or the Egg? "Land" or "Holes?"

Thanks. I have the Deadman's Bluff contest plot. Do you think it's worth laying a route, and then do all major landforms before drawing the holes?

Chicken or the Egg? "Land" or "Holes?"

Hi, all. Thank you so much for all your answers to my questions about the game. As always, I've uncovered just one more, lol. You patience and tutelage is appreciated. Which do you start with; do you start laying holes on a flat surface, or do you shape the terrain first to give yourselves something...

Club distances?

So, I recently updated my golfer from "standard" to "advanced." I was getting very frustrated with only carrying a 3 iron about 170 yards. But I'm still noticing my shots are, in general, short on carry, and long on run out. Is it common with anyone else for a drive to only carry...

Re: Muirfield Village 2022 by Steve Horn [New Course]

I'm not sure what I can add to what has already been said, Steve Horn, but I wanted to let you know that I played the course and greatly enjoyed it. Definitely going to be on my active courses list.
