would you like to play two courses for the “price” of one ? then, this par 72, with its nice bay, small rolling hills and vegetation is for you with different challenges down the finishing holes.
the front 9 has plenty of water holes, even if some are not too difficult, such as on the wide open par-4 1st, with a tree-lined fairway and a serpentine river behind the green, and the dogleg left par-4 4th, with water flowing past the green (and behind again).
however, other holes will test you, like the pretty par-3 2nd, with a tee shot over a big lake and with a panoramic view of the ocean as you reach the sloping green, the dogleg par-5 3rd, with a fairway hugging a huge lake (on the left, and with a few trees on its bank) and a tough second shot to try to reach the green, and the nice par-4 5th, with a tee shot over a lake crossing the fairway diagonally and ending to the left of the green.
two dogleg right par-5 holes then await you, with the challenging 6th, requiring a tee shot over a little bit of water, flowing out into a lake, all along the fairway (on the right), unlike the shorter tree-lined 7th, with no water to worry about.
then, after the par-3 8th hole, you will move on to the dogleg right par-4 9th, with water (on the right) until halfway, then with bunkers lined up and with a big lake to the right of a narrow green.
if two of the first three holes on the back 9 are par-4 doglegs, bending to the left, with the 10th, along a lake (and trees on its bank) branching out past the green and behind, and the 12th, around a lake, midway and with a slightly-elevated green, being the nicest, the scenery then changes drastically with the very pretty par-3 13th hole, facing the ocean and with a tee shot over marshy land encircling a green set on a small plateau.
more marshland is present on the pretty dogleg left par-4 14th hole, slightly downhill all the way, before heading back inland with the dogleg left par-5 15th, with plenty of wide bunkers around the green, hard to reach on your second shot.
another beautiful hole is the par-4 16th, with a tee shot over an elongated bunker filled with shrubs (on the right) and a blind shot over another one, filled with reeds and higher bushes, framed by two small ponds, and along a lake (on the left), before finishing your round with the nice par-3 17th, along a lake (on the right) and the scenic dogleg right par-4 18th, with a tee shot over a lake and an elongated pond parallel to it, starting midway, and a slightly-uphill approach to the green.
once again, rlslay came up with another beautiful course to gaze at, with small benches, blue flowers, marshland, and nice cart paths spread along, while offering us challenging holes with plenty of water hazards to deal where you will have to think twice before hitting some of your shots. |

| well, lots of trees and critters! and lots of elevation, as you'd expect up in washington state! i certainly had a good round going until 16, but it is a fine course, great job by whiffle to bring washington to florida! thanks for the fine example of parkland golf in the hills, whiffle. i hope you're still checking things here, and know that we are playing your courses, enjoying your talent. thanks much. |

another pretty tropical course but, unlike some others from rlslay, this par 73 is too tough for me, and it started from the opening par-5 hole, with a tee shot over a big pond landing onto a tree-lined fairway winding its way to the right, then to the left, and back to the right toward an elevated green, potentially reachable on a blind second shot, depending on where your tee shot landed.
three dogleg par-4 holes follow, with my favorite being the par-4 3rd, bending to the left and along trees on the bank of a lake, ending near the green, but the 2nd and 4th holes (to the right) are not easy with a blind and uphill tee shot landing down onto an undulating fairway and with another elevated green on the first one, and a big mound, midway, with a bunker in the middle, and an undulating green, on the latter.
then, after enjoying the scenic par-3 5th hole, with an elongated bunker all the way ending next to the green (on the left), you will face the gorgeous par-5 6th, but very tough because of its distance (645 yards !) and its huge elongated lake in the middle ending in front of the green, making your tee shot quite tricky (play it safe on the left), just like your second shot (across the lake, to the right), and your approach (over the lake (to the left) to reach a sloping green.
fortunately, after two easier holes (par-4 7th and 8th), the wide open par-3 9th will offer you a beautiful sight, with a tee shot over plenty of sand and with a small lake, starting two-thirds of the way and surrounding most of the green, in a horseshoe-shape.
your joy, however, will be a short one as you move on to the dogleg par-5 10th hole, quite long (around 600 yards), with two bunkers, lined up a few yards apart, midway in the inner corner, a blind second shot landing onto a very undulating fairway, and a short approach to an elevated green, set to the right.
the next four holes will challenge you, starting with the dogleg right par-4 11th, with a blind an uphill approach over big mounds to reach the green, followed by the straight par-4 12th, quite short (around 325 yards) but pretty with water on both sides of the green, the par-3 13th, with a blind tee shot uphill to reach the small elevated green, and the dogleg left par-4 14th, with trees, partially hiding the view of the elevated green.
two more dogleg left par-5 holes await you on your way home : the 15th requires a tee shot landing onto a very narrow fairway, midway, with bunkers (on the left) and a lake (on the right), and a tough approach to the green, with trees in the way, hiding it, and the long (around 580 yards) and pretty 18th , along a huge lake (on the left), and with a creek, winding its way diagonally across the fairway, to the right, then to the left, and over which you will have to hit your two – or three – shots to reach its sloping green !
with very tough par-5 holes, you better play it safe and not go for broke like i did (scored 13 ! on the 6th hole) if you want to have a chance to finish at even (or below) par, but don’t underestimate the other holes, quite tricky too, with plenty of elevation changes and sloping greens... if not, this coconut key island gc will drive you... nuts ! |

| late as always, but playing along with the st. jude tourney, course has changed a lot but this one still has the charm holein1 mentioned, and the toughness of a tpc course. enjoyed the round, found some of every obstacle, but the course plays fair and gives you shots at birdies if you can get that first shot on the fairway or green. thanks, all the cgx designers, for all your work over the years so we can enjoy courses like this. |

| well, it's a good thing i had my backpack, i spent a lot of time in the wilderness that passes for rough on campers club...bring a canteen along, too, you get dry out there. i found it a very challenging course, didn't hit many fairways, and enough of the greens are tough to putt to keep you working hard for a decent score. thanks, rlslay, for another fine challenge, looks great, enjoyed the round! |

if this par 72 is misnamed with the hills looking more like mountains to me, it is, nevertheless, quite interesting and tougher than it appears, at first glance, with plenty of water hazards and a few well-placed bunkers to test your skills.
on the front 9, water comes into play on quite a few holes, such as on the straight par-4 1st, with a tee shot over a serpentine creek, crossing the undulating fairway and flowing along to the right, and an uphill approach to the green, and the nice par-3 3rd, with a tee shot over a boomerang-shaped lake and with a big elongated bunker in front of the wide green to watch out.
two scenic holes follow, with the tough dogleg right par-4 5th, with a tee shot through a small gap between trees leaving you with a risky approach toward the green (set next to a big lake in front), and the dogleg right par-4 6th, with plenty of water branching out around the fairway and its large island green.
the par-3 7th hole, along a lake (on the right) is quite challenging too, with a blind tee shot over tall trees, hiding the green, just like the par-5 9th, again hugging a lake (on the left) and with a green, reachable on your second shot, if you can avoid a big elongated bunker set in front and to the left.
the back 9 is not as tough with wider and undulating fairways, but it still has a couple of nice dogleg right holes, like the par-5 11th, with a long and risky approach to a peninsula green, with a lone tree partially hiding the green further back, and the par-4 12th, along a serpentine lake (on the right).
then, after the dogleg right par-5 15th hole, with a small creek branching out in front of the green, reachable on your second shot, you will move later on to the pretty dogleg left par-4 18th, with a tee shot flying over a little bit of water linking two lakes (left and right), before firing an uphill approach to the green.
overall, if this coco hills gc plays smoothly and looks nice with hyno designs’ pano, it is not the toughest course ever created by rlslay, but you will have to be careful with your putting as a few greens are hard to read with little slopes around the cups, if you want to break par. |

| another very fine course from stef, and i do give thanks for that, and all of stef's courses. this one is out in a rural setting, with, unless i missed something, no buildings or signs of civilization except the course and associated bridge and such - which is really nice to me. will invite some friends and make it a foursome next round. thanks again, stef. |

i never thought i would have to bring my backpack, along with my golf bags, to play on this pretty and challenging par 72, set in the middle of nowhere, with only the presence of camper vans and big tents, seen on a small plateau, as a sign of human activity !
but this campers club gc is not a desert by any means : in fact, it is quite scenic and green, with lots of various shapes and sizes of trees (and branches !), bushes, and water hazards that will stop you from being overconfident as you will find out playing the first three downhill holes, with a blind tee shot on the par-4 1st, landing onto a narrow tree-lined fairway and with a slightly-elevated green, the pretty downhill par-3 2nd, with a tee shot over a wide sandy area, and the par-4 3rd, with a narrow and winding fairway and a second shot over medium rough and small bushes to get to the green.
the par-5 4th hole, bending sharply to the left, is quite short (around 450 yards) but pretty tough with a blind tee shot over wide branches and trees (if you try to cut the corner) and a risky approach toward the small green, guarded by a small pond in front (and a bunker, on the left), but wait until you face the dogleg right par-4 5th : a pure beauty that you won’t... see until you hit your blind tee shot over a huge lake while praying for it to land onto a narrow fairway, split midway by deep rough, followed by a tricky approach to the green, set near the edge of the water !
another par-5 hole awaits you with the dogleg left 6th, with plenty of deep rough and bushes around, splitting the fairway, midway (with a big tree in the middle), and a green, hard to reach on your second shot, before walking over to the very short (around 260 yards) and pretty dogleg par-4 7th hole, bending sharply to the right, with a tee shot landing short of plenty of sand, starting midway and surrounding the green, all the way.
you will then head back the other way with the straight par-4 8th hole, with a tee shot over deep rough and a small green, next to a serpentine small lake (behind and to the left), before enjoying the par-3 9th, with a blind tee shot over trees, sand and shrubs landing onto an elevated green.
then, after two dogleg right holes to start the back 9 (par-4 10th, with deep rough and a lone tree (on the right), splitting the fairway, midway, and a slightly-elevated green, par-5 11th, with a downhill tee shot landing onto an undulating fairway and a very long second shot toward the green), you will have to hit a precise downhill tee shot over deep rough on the scenic par-3 12th hole, to land on the green, set next to a big lake behind.
after “enjoying a break” on the dogleg right par-4 13th hole, you will have to bring your a game on the tough dogleg par-5 14th, with a tee shot landing short of deep rough, splitting the fairway, followed by a downhill second shot to the right, and an approach to the left toward the green, before moving on to the pretty dogleg left par-4 15th, with a tee shot over plenty of sand and a blind approach over more trees, sand and small bushes to reach the green.
last but not least, after the wide open par-3 16th hole, with a nice panoramic view of the small hills, you will complete your round with the picturesque dogleg left par-4 17th, with plenty of water winding its way around the fairway and the green (and with tiny islands in between and around, filled with small trees), and the nice dogleg par-4 18th, with a tee shot over a big lake (seen on the 5th hole), and an elevated green, set slightly to the right.
needless to say, this campers club gc (written on the scorecard, but cg on the logo !) is a pure delight to watch (loved those trails of dust on the plateau...) and play, so much so that you might just sit down and have a picnic after completing your round since there is no clubhouse anywhere nearby ! |

another beautiful course, set around and above the san francisco bay, with plenty of undulating tree-lined fairways, some quite narrow, elevation changes, blind shots, and risk/reward cliffside holes along the ocean.
the pretty dogleg right par-4 1st hole is slightly-downhill all the way, with a tree-lined fairway and the ocean (on the far right), and three bunkers, guarding a small green.
the par-4 2nd hole is very tough with a blind and uphill tee shot flying over tall trees and across a small canyon, landing onto a small slanted green, and is followed by the tough dogleg right par-4 3rd, with, again, a very narrow tree-lined downhill fairway.
but the best has yet to come, with the wide open dogleg right and downhill par-4 4th hole, offering a beautiful view of the san francisco bay, just like the par-3 6th, uphill all the way and with a very narrow tree-lined fairway and another panoramic view of the skyline as you reach the green.
the scenery then changes with the very long (more than 630 yards) dogleg right par-5 7th hole, with an undulating fairway hugging the ocean below (on the left), and a green, impossible to reach on your second shot, before moving later on to the superb but very short (around... 80 yards !) par-3 9th, with a blind, scary and steeply-downhill tee shot landing onto a peninsula green, surrounded by a small lake (with nice reeds in it) !
coming home, most of the early holes have the skyline behind them, as you will find out on the par-4 10th, steeply uphill with an undulating fairway and a few bunkers, spread along left and right, all the way to the green.
then, after a few more rollercoaster holes (par-4 11th, par-5 12th, par-4 13th), the final stretch is simply spectacular : the par-3 14th offers a clear view of the peninsula green, seen on the 9th hole, and is followed by the pretty dogleg right par-4 15th, along the ocean below (on the left) and with, again, a gorgeous view of san francisco, beyond the green.
as for the last three holes, they are along the cliffs, starting with the nice par-3 16th, and its green, set above the ocean, before facing the magnificent dogleg left par-4 17th (a real postcard !), downhill all the way and with a gorgeous view of the bay, and finishing with the par-3 18th, with the green set at the tip of a cliff.
with its challenging landscape, this par 70 will definitely test your skills but if you are patient enough and play it safe, you should finish below par on this porcupine mtn gc 2010, set around the gorgeous san francisco bay and well designed by rlslay... |

| not sure how i missed this beautiful links course for so long, but i did, and that's my loss. i just love par 3 greens 25 yards across - you hit the green from the tee and it's, like, "yes!" - then you look at the 23 yard putt over two humps and a bend... just great, lovely sea, everything appears natural in the layout and location. thanks, j&m, a top-notch job. appreciate it. |

a visually attractive and delightful course, overlooking a valley and with abundant vegetation, quite a few water hazards and strategically-placed bunkers to avoid, not to mention some greens, with a gentle slope, hard to read sometimes.
the front 9 has a very pretty and challenging four-hole stretch, starting with the nice par-3 2nd, with a tee shot over a small lake in front of the green (and to the right), followed by the straight par-5 3rd, with an elongated lake, starting two thirds of the way (on the right) and ending next to the green (on the right), the scenic par-3 4th, along a lake and flowing past the green (on the left), and the short dogleg left par-4 5th hole, along another lake (on the left) and with a slightly-elevated green.
the dogleg right par-4 7th is another beautiful hole, with a tee shot over an elongated lake landing between bunkers onto an undulating fairway and a second shot toward a sloping green, just like the tough dogleg left par-5 9th, with a tee shot landing between bunkers on both sides of the fairway, midway, and next to an elongated lake, ending near the green (on the left), hard to reach on your second shot.
a long dogleg right par-5 10th hole awaits you on your way back, along rows of bushes and small trees (on the right), and with quite a few bunkers all the way to the green (mostly on the right), before facing the par-3 11th, slightly uphill and with a tee shot over deep rough and between small trees, then walking later on to the other par-3, the 13th hole, with a huge elongated bunker, starting midway and ending next to the green (on the left).
two scenic holes follow with the dogleg right par-4 14th, slightly downhill and with a river winding its way (on the right) past the green, and the dogleg left par-5 15th, back the other way, along the serpentine river (on the right) and with a blind and very risky second shot if you want to reach the green, with the river crossing in front of it.
you will complete your round with the par-5 18th hole, downhill and along plenty of trees (on the right) and with a green, slightly to the right, before admiring a nice clubhouse behind.
with its pretty panorama and, at times, challenging risk/reward tee shots and/or approaches to the greens, this canada open will have you sing “wow, canada”, thanks to rlslay’s nice imagination and design ! |

| had a fine round at last buoy, a couple of things i really liked about it. first was the various shades of green and blue, made it so peaceful i fell asleep on the 10th hole! but i also really liked the risk-reward holes 3 and 4, go for it with the driver or lay up to a safe place in the fairway - if you hit them, which i didn't do too well today! hole 15 is a great view from the tee. thanks, rlslay, you have a real talent for capturing the essence of a golf course. |

| for the first time, i searched for pics of seven canyons while playing this course, i couldn't believe the course was real - and you know, the course and the pictures are identical, just beautiful. i don't know what else to say. i'm blown away. played it average rough, fyi the 2nd cut was knee-deep! hate to play it heavy! thanks, stef, one more favorite course for me, and i hope for many, many others who find this gem. |

| i'll start by saying it's beautiful, has elevation that i love, and it's hard to believe it's a real course in san diego. as someone else wrote, i couldn't afford the greens fees in any event! now, i hit my drive on #2; it hit the middle of the fairway...and bounced backwards! my second shot hit the green and bounced into the rough. 3rd shot out, and ran in an 18' putt for par. i checked the scorecard and was amazed it was just the 12th handicap hole! ha! thanks, stef, do hope your life is great these days. |

| as usual i'm a day late and a dollar short in praising royal melbourne, but i made it, even if i can't add much to all the other posts. did find on the front 9 i was better off trying to hit straight shots off the tee to a section of fairway than trying to shape, draw or fade - those ended up in the rough, tough rough! greens putted well, not the hardest but fair for sure. thanks so much, rlslay, for another addition to my favorite courses. |
