I think the criticism of the course is fair. Precisely why a brand new first time ever played course should never be used for a major tour stop. I appreciate they left tones of trees until they have a better idea of exactly what should come out. But they should have had enough play on the course to fully figure those things out before being a major stop at the highest level of play. Then the OB wouldn't need to be over used to create difficulty. There should be enough play in all weather types to determine what is a challenging yet fair layout, well in advance of making this level of tour stop.
Aggressive OB areas throughout the course always make disc golf boring. Like all of the courses that exist on ball golf courses. It forces everyone to play for par instead of going for birdies, and that isn't fun to play or to watch.
So much whining. I think this course raises the level of disc golf and these players need to figure it out, because that's their freaking job. I loved watching these guys struggle with harsh conditions on a course that required surgical precision. Of course players will complain about something that's more difficult than they're used to, and the first thing Paul blamed was not the course, but his putting, which was abysmal and has been inconsistent lately. He should be several strokes ahead if he were putting up to his ability because many of his misses were standard pro putts even in these winds. I get bored by golf course tournaments because they're too easy and they only reward the most powerful players without enough punishment for power that lacks accuracy. So, I think this level of difficulty is the future of disc golf and players 10 years from now will carve this course up and consider this weekend's complaints laughable. The level of play is increasing and the level of difficulty must keep up, and like I said, these guys are pros, some of them paid millions of dollars to figure challenges like this out, so any complaints about the course ring completely hollow with me.
