As noted above, the best courses evolve. You can’t plan them and walk away and hope the builder gets it right. Most builders aren’t golfers. Just go to any site and start asking around.
After staking the critical areas on Tuesday, I walked around and made some notes. As there was no rush to make these changes, I let a day pass to think them over.
On the 2nd there will be a bunker to the left of the green and the waste that I had coming directly to the front will be converted to fairway. This change led to another.
I placed the forward tee on the 2nd to the left along the property line so the ladies would have an open shot to the green, and could bounce the ball onto it. The forced carry was planned only from the Men’s tee. By putting the bunker left of the green and having fairway to the front, I’ve now moved the Forward Tee along the pond’s edge. A prettier location, and a better angle into the green. One change leads to another and another and another.
