OP here, just wanted to follow up on my course. I ended up going with a 13 Hole layout. I live in an a rural area called Bakers Grove, and my address is Bakers Grove Rd. A friend had an idea to have 13 holes and name the course "Baker's Dozen". It's kinda clever but also gave me license to not have to have the traditional 9 or 18 hole layout. I had some preliminary 10 & 12 hole layouts that were met with confusion from my friends …haha. I mean who says it HAS to be 9 or 18?? I just want to maximize my property's potential. My conclusion was that the property isn't big enough for even a short 18 holes, but I also had more than 9 good holes I could link up. Turns out 13 was really the perfect fit. The holes are more tightly spaced than a public course but I don't cross over other fairways or share baskets. Average holes are 225-250' with a couple 300-340'. I've redesigned and edited countless times over the past year or two… fine tuning the design and pin placements. A round is about 1 hour to play… I play almost every day during my lunch hour since I work from home. I'm finishing up the course map with distances but can share that along with some photos soon. Thanks to everyone here for the helpful feedback!
