The Ranch 9 at Pole Creek Golf Club outside of Winter Park CO.  There are 3 9's, Ranch, Meadow, and Ridge.

Shot these Sun. at Mariana Butte, Loveland CO. Fun day out with the folks on a beautiful course. It winds through a luxury development situated around a series of buttes. Two of the par 3's are actually on and below the butte, the elevated tees are very high. One was playing 172 yds and I hit a very soft 48* wedge that landed on the green. I can't find my pics of that hole but I got a few of the shorter par three on the other side. Took one from the side of the green looking back up at my Mom on the red tee.

A couple of the holes on the back are right on the river and you can see where the river was once much higher than it is now. The rock formations on the sides of the holes are smooth from being part of the previous river bed. Those played narrow with the fairway between the river and the rocks and hills, a few holes required accuracy to hit through the slots from the tee. Almost felt like playing three different courses. The front starts out park style then you wind into the desert like buttes and down along the river where it gets very lush and dense.

That club is gorgeous... what's up with the 235-241yd par 3 hole #4?  Description?  Is 235 really the closest tee box?

That is about it. The tee box is behind a creek and if we built a tee box on the other side of the creek it would totally change the character of the hole. There is a forward tee from about 185 for women and another at about 160 for juniors.

Here is Indianwood.  I took these photos During the Senior Open last year.  I included some non course shots because I thought you would find them interesting.

    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though. 
    • This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.
    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
