I am liking the look of the Tripp Davis designed Tribute Golf Links (wrong! :) ), where the LPGA is playing this week. I don't recall any recent discussions about the course. Anyone played it?

Ditto, David.

I played it only once, six years ago. I liked it. I thought it had a more authentic feel and played more like a links than other faux links e.g. Grand Cypress New in Orlando and Royal Links in Las Vegas. It had a lot of width, rumpled fairways and wind and played pretty firm. You could play a lot of interesting chip shots and use a "Texas wedge". There were some fun novelty touches such as the tee shot of number 17 which is based on #17 at the Old Course and a replica swilcan bridge . If I remember correctly, #1, #17 and #18 were based on TOC. Others were based on holes at Nairn, Moray, Prestwick, Carnoustie, Muirfield, Turnberry Ailsa, Troon and Western Gailes. The exterior of the clubhouse looked a bit like Muirfield. Here's a link to a photo album ,https://www.flickr.com/photos/golfcoursepix/albums/72157644200259637

Drew Harvie:
The LPGA is playing a replica course? That's odd

Paul Carey:
They are not playing at the Tribute but at the Old American Golf Club which is next to the Tribute.  Old American is a Tripp Davis course that is quite good but can be quite difficult because of the severity of some of the greens.


I believe the courses came back under the same owner recently and the place is called the Golf Clubs at the Tribute.   They are playing at Old American.
