So now the course has been released and players have had a chance to play it, what is the toughest hole you have encountered so far?

For me it is Hole #5! I can't tell you how many times I played that hole and ended up off the green or three putting. I tried everything I could think of, leaving it short to chip on with full spin. I tried to leave the ball above the hole, below the hole, Behind the hole, and in front lol. Nothing worked for me. It always sucked because I would be 3 under and then would double bogey it and there goes that positive mindset I had going into the round.

14 for me. Can't get the approach to stop. The green on 6 has cost me 6 putts in 2 rounds as well.

Right now it is 12-16. I do ok up till those 5 then it all goes south. the last time I played it I was -4 up to there and made 3 bogeys and a double and birdied 17 to end up even.

I had one bogey earlier (hole 14 or 15) but for me it was number 18. Came up well short and pitched to within a foot to save par. 62 on my one and only round. Can't wait to play it again and have it available to my members in our club events.

I loved the course. I like that you have to use 3W on some of the drives. The par 3's are difficult.

Excellent job by WGT once again. When can we expect the next course? lol..

I touched a tree and lost a ball, at least on Olympic and Beth you usually get the chance to continue from the rough below.

Hey shoe I found if I play it like #9 At Oamont is becomes any easy par. I just aim to the left fringe and a chip with my 60 degree Cleveland with 1/2 to 3/4 T/S gets me to within a foot or 2. The first couple of times I was going for the green and if you go above the hole it becomes nasty.
