I played FD and the Loop in 2019 and it was ridiculously good! Now, you have to head over to WI and check out Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes, and The Sandbox (all on the same property). Designed by the same architects that did many of the Bandon Dunes courses(McLay-Kidd and Coore & Crenshaw). It's an AMAZING place and some of the most fun golf you'll ever play. And isn't that why we play the game in the first place, to have fun?!?
@@Karstenhultgren yeah, Erin is great, but I prefer both SV & MD over Erin Hills. Cheaper, more fun, and more unique courses, IMO. EH is definitely more challenging, and while I like a good challenge, EH punched me in the stomach and stepped on my neck. LOL
Lol!! Good to know and super helpful insight. I feel similarity about Cog Hill vs Cantigny. Cog Hill DubsDread is a great track but over priced and I don’t like getting wrecked by a course. Cantigny is gorgeous, fairly priced, and a lot more playable. I am doing a video of the REAL top 5 golf courses in IL here soon :)
I was really surprised! My favorite fun fact was about the plane crash (which sounds horrible, I know). The crash was a good metaphor for my game that day as it blew up on that hole!
Thanks for including the interesting history!
Let's go
Love the history!! Yes that course is amazing. Each hole so distinguished!! Want to play again!!! Loved the 9th!!!
I feel we were so tired when we played that we didnt get to appreciate its full beauty!
Woah wild backstory. Looks like a fun course! I'll have to get out there before golf season ends.
Totally wild!
Owned by the mafia?? INCREDIBLE. Though I fear my golf game might CRASH (like the plane) on some of those swifter greens! LOL!
I appreciate your enthusiasm Ross! 😂
Beautiful course!
Thank you! I highly recommend

True by me! Great word, I am looking on final splurge and debating Erin Hills or Sand Valley. You played Erin?

Dude.... where is is located.??? Start there info boy
Super interesting course! Seems expensive, but looks like it is worth the money for sure
Own by the Mafia at one point interesting.
