#1 608 yds/plays north to south,so the prevailing wind will encourage a draw.A rare opening par 5 curves around wetland,level lies unlikely. pic.twitter.com/gNSR79C5cH brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
#2 358 yds has the smallest green on the course at 4,000 ft. The 2nd risk reward hole in a row. Similar in the abstract to #3 at Augusta. pic.twitter.com/TmgFye7E4Z brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017

#4 439 yds/ straight hole w/2 ragged edge bunkers running 2 front middle of a false front,shallow green.Will punish a mishit:misjudged shot. pic.twitter.com/MLx6WANdjt brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
#5 505 yds/subtle architecture element of an extended approach over the left greenside bnkr makes more reasonable a long shot to a left pin pic.twitter.com/yooJzIVX0B— brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 9, 2017
#6 237 yds prevailing wind helps/ the deepest green on the course (47yds) /false front gives a foreshortened sense and intimidating look. pic.twitter.com/sBMseJj5Wu brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
