I certainly hope that Music City Open course is revamped. I liked parts of the course, but hated other parts of it. It was basically a "who can throw the furthest" course on an old ball golf course. It's cool to see the pros throw as far as they can, but I don't want to watch it for an entire round.
I'm pumped nonetheless.
From the announcement - looks like that is happening.
"While that means more elite pros will get to tackle the par-72 Ravenwood, it may not be the same as it was in 2019. McKaskle noted that the layout has changed every year it's been used for the MCO, and that course designer Shawn Sinclair is aiming to not only make use of some more of the property's wooded areas, but also to make the course flow more smoothly.
He also admitted they might take it a little bit easier on competitors.
"I think if anything, based on the feedback we got this year, some of it was a little bit much," McKaskle said. "There were a lot of people that weren't enthused about having four 1,000-foot holes to finish the round. There were some obvious concerns we didn't have the time or ability to address.
"This year they've given us keys to the gate and we're able to go out there and work it whenever we want," McKaskle continued. "There definitely will be more attention to detail put into it this year."
