Links Corner Forum

Hi Pete,

Are you finishing it up or are you finishing up your part and handing it back to me......either way is cool with me.....

Sage......

Finishing it up, Sage. The Tee distances didn't agree with the online scorecard and I took care of a couple of concerns voiced by Adelade. I figured you were already busy enough with your requests!

Pete

That's awesome Pete....!!!!!! Lemme know if there is anything you want me to do......

I reckon this one would be a great course to have in Links. https://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/wor ... -hole.html Surprised nobody has done it yet... though I see an old post from last year where somebody mentioned it in passing.

Seriously considering whether I could do it justice, I already have a lot of the Aussie type plants and trees, and some decent textures that would work well with it. But, 128 bunkers on the course, and they aren't simple oval type ones either, very linksy style ones. Clubhouse area looks like it would take a lot of work too.

Cheers, AJ

Sherwood I know of by Nicklaus game, maybe TW game and seeing Norman and TW shootouts played there on tv as well as recent senior tournaments, also Wolf Creek by being in TW game. The other courses that you listed are unknowns other than to yourself, I would bet. Recently you mentioned Dakota Dunes, a Palmer design and it does look interesting since has features of Sand Hills and several highly acclaimed courses out in Oregon, such as Bandon Dunes. But Dakota Dunes has those features, but with water hazards added plus the Palmer name attached to it and his course design team still is carrying on following his passing that I see. Some courses that you know about such as Meadowlark are essentially muni type courses. The only real hazards on that course were the tree lined fairways where Sage deferred to John Brooks to add those as most all Sage's courses done so far do not have trees encroaching in making for narrow fairways. Another poster added that greenside bunkers were not really near greens at all. Muni courses are typically short and devoid of a lot of hazards making for cheap upkeep and a golfer getting in a quick round boasting of shooting a low score, albeit on an easy course. Arsenal Island that you have promoted is only interesting in that the course was on an island in the Mississippi River and a pano cannot do justice to what ambiance was of being on course site, but real length was shortish and even if fictional length added as another poster noted that the course with lack of hazards looked to still fit the muni description otherwise. By pictures you showed some holes had tree lined fairways, while others looked to be out in the open on hillside slopes.

Going by best courses in USA Golf Digest latest list at #24 Los Angeles CC North that recently hosted Walker Cup and about that time Hugh Hefner had his playboy mansion next to one hole of the course died that can recall, also it will host 2023 US Open so for soon hosting a major might be more interesting to see in a Links design IMHO of course.
