Links Corner Forum

Too many courses, too few designers.

I checked out this Victoria National course and highly agree - surely would play really fun in Links. Won't be able to give it a go myself (too many other courses in mind), so I would love if any other designer could prehaps consider it Great looking layout with seemingly excellent strategic hole designs and what I would call a nice yardage of 7239, no overbunkering so not too many of those to fiddle with, GoogleEarth 3D, located in USA so there might be decent elevation data possibilities, seems to be listed on Strackaline, and flyovers here for example (including simple but nicely helpful greenslope graphics) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAplzlqbX_I Lot of water but considering the landscape Im guessing it all is on the same elevation level so I doubt there would be complications with that.

I would love to see someone do the King &Bear Golf Course in Florida that Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus co designed together that looks like a very challenging course at par 72 7,279 yards from the back tees think it would be a good addition to the game.
