Movement in top 10

[Cgkdisc]

Winged Deer was a nice track at Master Pro Worlds. However, that layout was overly biased towards right turning shots. So maybe worth up to a 4.25 for lefties and RHFH throwers and 3.75 for RHBH dominant. Had worst (61) and best (52) rated rounds there taming it with improved BH rollers and BH turns second time through.

I've got a trip for you! I'm currently in East Tennessee, about 20 minutes from #10 in the World - Harmon Hills (4.7), 20 mins from Winged Deer, grossly underrated at 3.4, 30 minutes from Sugar Hollow (4.0) - all of these were used in the Pro World Masters in August.
Then about 45 minutes away is Panther Creek (4.2) plus 3 others around 3.5 in Morristown. Oh yeah, I'm only 10 mins from Warriors Path SP (3.75), plus several others within these drive times of various length and quality. :thmbup:

Oooooo! :O

That sounds like a good one!

My thoughts exactly Chuck! It was a bad day for my forehand to not be working. Then, on #17, I finally throw a good one, and it went way past the basket! :wall:

A couple of weeks ago, the week of the MCO, my wife picked a burger spot in Kport and Zach M and Vinny were eating there! I should have asked ZM if he designed Winged Deer!!

I did not even think about that as a possibility when writing that review.

Time will tell if it can stay above those other two - I know some of the 4.5s for Harmony Bends are at least partly due to the flooding it gets, and I considered that as well since such circumstances kept me from playing it early in the year.

Most fun I've ever had was my 2nd round at HB.
My 1st round #'s 1, and 10-14 were flooded, and it was still spectacular.

Between my visits, they added the steps on #10 and #15, and expanded the parking.

Back where it belongs. Some dumbass kicked it out of the top spot in July 2020 or so I believe it was.

I got super lucky at HB and played it November, and it was absolutely perfect. One of my top 3 courses played.

November golf is great. I can't imagine HB being better any other time of year. I'll probably have to go again within the next year just to make sure. You know, for research.

That's another 5/5 for Harmony Bends from kp_1024.

Meh... HB's not bad a bad time.

It looks like Eagle's Crossing and Lake Marshall will not only crack the top ten, but might hold the top two spots later this year. Are there any other top ten potential courses in the works ?

 

[elmexdela]

this pondering already might have been mentioned

but if timothy reset all the ratings would courses would re emerge

and what ones are just things of the past or has beens

or falsely found their way into the top courses

Is that a haiku or something?

John Houck mentioned several projects he's working on recently, maybe he can weigh in. I'm most interested in his re-design of Shaver Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This park was destroyed during the derecho and they received a grant to renovate. Early map designs I've seen make it look like some beautiful wooded golf.

I am just getting started on one outside of Blacksburg, VA that has the potential- 360 acres of mountains about equally divided between former pasture and woodland. There will be at minimum 2 courses on site.
