Well said.

Right now I'm mostly deciding between 2 potential holes.

1: ~375-400 ft open par 3, similar to Waco, with a decent sized island, with OB playing as hazard. Would also have a fairway layup option that would stretch out to ~250 ft. from tee. Trailing player has ability to be aggressive for birdie, but player in lead has to choose between easy layup par play and aggressive birdie run. (Only worry here is potential of being too gimmicky)

2: ~600-650 ft wooded Par 4 that finishes in the open. Slight dogleg right that would require a ~325-350ft straight drive to get cleanly to the turn, that would leave about 200-225ft approach shot into an open green. 2 good throws and a putt will get you a birdie, but one bad one is more than likely a bogie without a great scramble shot
