Finally made it to @doakgolf’s Loop @forestdunesgolf and the hype is more than justified! A unique experience, the course is playable in two directions and the execution was 👌! Such a pure, pure golf course! Unbelievable routing, great strategy, and amazing greens!

At Black Forest, Tom Doak's first masterpiece of minimalist golf course architecture, each hole is carved through a lush canvas of pine, oak, and maple trees so thick that each hole is an island of isolated natural beauty. The dramatic bunkering on Black Forest…

Shared this on SoundCloud yesterday. Unedited conversation with golf course architect Tom Doak. Totally stoked that over 160 people have listened and it's getting good reviews on a course architects page. Very happy.
