  what ive seen of the oylmpic course so far on the official website...

  it looks very tough maybe oakmonts older nasty brother lol..

  very narrow fairways and sloping greens wow maybe i will invest in a hybrid lol. 

  i think it was the 3rd hole a par 3 i might be wrong but if im correct the official of the club says, a green in regulation is a great shot!!!

  plus the opening hole is a massive 520 yards par 4 wow..

  LOL yea,   you can play the holes one at a time in the wgt community "pick a course/pick a hole" option and the 1st hole is 500 yds from the front tees lmao.

   

  Should be fun from the back tees and high winds!

  yes i just played that hole from red tees and it was 200 yards, pin is tight to  front right of green close to bunker, so the longer tees will be 248 yards and will be very tight.  I stopped playing Olympic club hole by hole as the red tee's do give you a feel for the course, but the black tees are much further bacj and the greens will be championship, not standard.  but if you're bored go and knock a few balls around there.

  Hole #7 will be a easy birdie or eagle, its a par 4 which you can hit green with!

  When you go to play the hole by hole way,  they show 3 scores for Olympic,   only 1 out of the 3 player profiles come up........I want to know how they posted a stroke play score and this guy is just a "pro" lol.

  You're probably correct there, never thought about it that way.

  true, but you can find the other 2 by searching on WGTplayers ;-), could be testers indeed, both recently joined WGT.
