We just got approved for a course in town. I am super excited, since our closest course currently is 4.5 hours away. Can't wait to play this thing in August!

Now our club will be finalising the design. What do you think?

One obvious problem is the walk from the end of 18 to the start of hole 1. It is about 4 blocks over a flat road with a sidewalk, so it isn't too bad. But not ideal. However, I can't see a way out of having a decent walk somewhere: the big white spot on the right is houses, and there is no possible way to connect where 18 ends with where 1 begins.

Another solution would be to change the river crossings: right now we cross one bridge at the start of hole 2, then cross a different bridge near the end. These are the only two bridges (the other thing going across the river in the middle is a pipe). We could cross one bridge, do a loop, then cross the same bridge to finish. However, I can't find a way to make this work since there is only room for one fairway near both bridges on the left side of the rive.
