Was going to play Chuck D Red Tee's this past Sunday, but the wife needed some help around the house & shiz so I was unable to make it out as planned. I will try and make it out this week and review it for you guys. Played the Whites on Saturday though with the family in tow. I am finally getting used to the new tee placements except for hole 16. I am sorry, but I absolutely loath hole 16 now. It used to be much more fun playing from the previous spot. Taking the drive shot that far back is, IMHO, ridiculous. You either have to crush to straight down and pray you miss the bushes/clump of trees directly in front of you, thread it on the left side towards the left hand break, or play it far right & go for a straight shot to the pin. All of the other holes are such a challenge, but hole 16 has no challenge anymore since you have mainly three choices to shot for. If you can crush it, your fine, but the average player will just grumble & moan on this hole because you will either land in the rough to the left or get tied up in the trees in front of you. I know it was moved because players were shooting too far into the fairway on 13. Should be playing from the blacks if that is the case.
