![]() ![]() ![]() George, UtahĤ Responses to “Most Unusual Golf Sign plus a Tot Hill Farm Rating” Golf Course Review: Coral Canyon Golf Course, St. Was he instructed to build an “extreme” golf course or was the final product his idea? I would have loved to have asked him about his intentions with Tot Hill Farm. I met and talked with Mike before he died from throat cancer, but I had not yet played Tot Hill Farm. It’s really fun if you don’t take your golf seriously. That said, Tot Hill Farm is a course that everyone should want to play once for its unique challenge and beauty. While it is a layout that a few do love, it is simply too difficult for most, and even advanced players will tire of this as a steady diet. You will find all sorts of odd-ball challenges and weird shapes and angles at this very scenic layout, one that “Golf Digest” once rated the 7th toughest golf course in the US – quite a ranking for a public-access layout.Īnyway, the layout is “Strantz on Steroids” or something over-the-edge. While I admire his work particularly at Tobacco Road, Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, and Monterey Peninsula Country Club, he really got carried away here. Tot Hill Farm is a very striking design by the late talented Mike Strantz on a dramatically beautiful piece of property. Seriously, when a golf course has a sign that completely disregards the Rules of Golf, something is amiss with the design. You might have thought that they knew I was coming. ![]()
