I'm an 18th hole defender! We talk about this a little in our video on the course as well as in my deep dive podcast on the course.

It probably depends on whether Raynor ultimately would have made 16 a long par 3 or a short par 4. If a long par 3, more likely he would have made it a Biarritz at that length. But of course that's total speculation. Perhaps Raynor had some idea of which templates would go where when he came up with his initial routing of the course, but he certainly didn't get to the point of putting anything specific down on paper. My understanding is that all we have of his work is a stick routing.

Would #16 have been a redan?!

I am eagerly anticipating my trip to Broomsedge with FEGC in October as well as playing Aiken Golf Club the same week. In November I'm heading to Cabot Citrus Farms. I have been very blessed with incredible golf opportunities this year.

Congratulations to you and your wife Ethan! That is exciting news!

I got lots of photos to share a woodhill for anyone at Lawsonia or who is going Travis City

GREAT presentation. I have been BLESSED to play the course a number of times. As you stated, #9 is my favorite hole. From the tee box, the is a sweeping view of much of the course. A true “Kodak Moment”! Also, MacKenzie replicated the hole at Royal Melbourne West - #10. Terrific.

Sick! Adding this to the registry before the baby shower.

I was shocked to see all the red when i turned on the TV.

I'm hoping FEGC goes back to Prairie Dunes this year. I couldn't make it because of work conflicts. Drove by it last month and gazed longingly a few moments. I was on my way to play in a tournament at Buffalo Dunes in Garden City. If you ever get the chance, Buffalo Dunes is elite. I can't stop thinking about it.
