Just to clarify something- the designs that are currently laid out are actually the product of both Jeremy and Jeff Crum. Just sayin'

I personally would prefer a 2x18 layout. There was more than enough property for the two 18-hole layouts before they gave us another 40 acres to work with. As stated by others before, it would be especially advantageous to have two courses during tournaments. Two pools could mean faster play and better flow during small tournaments and it could also make hosting large tournaments easier from a logistical standpoint. I also like the idea of an easier, more accessible course that would occupy the chuckers on busy days, leaving the gold-level upper course empty for the rest of us.

I do wonder about the interaction with the bikers on the lower portion of the Jamboree course. If we start the Jam course any further up the hill, it will not appeal to as many people, but if we try and mesh with the bike trails too much, we might have some conflicts down the road. I am not saying that we should give up on the lower portion, I just think that we should proceed carefully in that area as there seems to be a higher density of trails.

The upper course should be both physically and technically punishing; the kind of course that builds a fearsome reputation for crushing scores, bodies, and dreams during tournaments. Use of elevation should be the top consideration when designing a hole, as well as sloping greens and fairways. I'd like to see holes with a good view off of teepad and at the basket.

Both courses should be safe, balanced, and incorporate as much variety as possible. If possible, the courses should be designed with alternate pin placements/teepads in mind and not just be an afterthought. Speaking of teepads- are we really considering concrete? I'm all for some nice pads, but damn that's a big hill!
