Played it a week after the KFT Championship, fastest greens I’ve ever played (~12 stimp with crazy slopes) and was told they were quicker for the championship. Hardest course I’ve played so far. Obviously bad shots were punished but didn’t feel like good shots were as rewarding.

Great mix of short and long par 3 and 4s. Good use of elevation changes. Greens are huge and roll fast. More forgiving off the tee than it initially looks but you're rewarded for taking on the challenge off the tee by having an easier approach.

The Donald Ross Course at French Lick was my favorite of the two courses. It doesn’t overwhelm you with forced carries or tricks—it quietly challenges you with rolling terrain, clever bunkering, and some of the best green complexes you’ll ever play.
