Wade Hampton is a real gem. Big fan of Pine Canyon as well, but beware- lots of unmarked OB in the trees!!

I've been playing a lot of e6 and some courses have been duds while others have been a lot more fun. The most fun courses so far have been the judge, and greywolf. I've played grey wolf in real life a handful of times and it's pretty darn accurate for feels. Some of the big hitters have felt fairly dull, and maybe surprisingly many of the pga event host courses especially.
Any more must plays?Comment

I don't know why, maybe because it's the first course I played on e6 and that it's fairly easy (especially when you play from the whites like I do) but I keep coming back to banff, even though it's a 1.6 course.Comment

I gave whistler a try and it was fun, more than just the straight away banger some seem to be. I also played Pinehurst #8 with the intention of playing (way) forward from the reds to have lots of gettable par 4's and 5's with short 3's. Totally the wrong course for it, we saw a nearly 600yd par 5, and countless 400+ yd par 4's. Without checking those tees must have been 6500yds was my feeling. The course was fine but it was easily 1500yds more than we were looking for. In hindsight there might have been 4 tee boxes in front of that one but geez, tough boxes for anyone hitting an avg distance, it felt like the blues from all the other courses. Not sure if we screwed something up in the setup but no way was that a forward tee.
I'll try the idea again as it's fun totally changing the yardages up and having really aggressive looks at greens everywhere. I'm playing tomorrow night again, just to find a suitable course now.Comment
