  Thanks wgt for making this course.

  But will it be the regular course or the new one this year 100 yrds longer and par 70 instead of 71?

  I think they will play the longer one, like they did with Deathpage.

  The fairways are very undulating, and I think off the what-would-be Legend tees on one par5 if you hit the drive 330 yards you land in water. There's also a threat of OB and some crazily-breaking putts. Legends like you Tess can easily shoot very low there though :-)

  Is it going to have a "green fee" as well?

  It' s really an interesting course.

  - 4 par-3, two of them 230+ yds long;

  - 2 par-5, the second one with a loooooong OB on the right side (as SA #16) and a nice water canal at 320 yds to avoid longer tee shot;

  - quite demanding par-4, 440 yds average long.

  Mix them all with fescue, wind, mounds and same old links bunker.

  I thought that the WGT theory was that the Legend tees will be set up exactly as the course was for the Open Championship, like Oakmont, St Andrews and BPB.
