Brad, I've seen your scores. You figure these courses out pretty fast! LOL

The way the sky integrates and blends with the background is just phenomenal Steve! I don't recall any GBC course having that feature. It really gives depth to every view. Great stuff!

Thank You Jeff! I believe your gem, Sleeping Bear Downs is about ready for release. Looking forward to that one Jeff, it really looks outstanding!

Hi Steve,

having play-tested Jeff's Sleeping Bear Downs, I can assure you that this is an extremely distinctive looking course, which not only looks beautiful, but provides an amazing challenge, no matter which shot you are playing. It's a ripper!

Cheers

Brad

ImageWe're at the turn and heading in @ hole #10 here at Hollow Trails. Your going to see even more farms and granaries as we weave our way back to the 19th hole. Avoid the bunkers right and left, (hidden from the tee) of the landing area and it leaves you a long iron approach to a green circled by fairway and protected on the left front by a fairway bunker. This hole, if played right will yield a few birdies.

With a standard drive to this narrow fairway, how far is it in to the green? Are we looking at a long iron approach?
