“Trying to rank Tobacco Road against other golf courses kind of misses the point of Mike Strantz’s epic, wholly unique, slightly deranged masterwork. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate TR a 🍍. Its mere existence is proof that golf courses are forms of art.”

The fine arts are very much a spiritual thing. A thing of feeling and beauty. They touch a part of the human soul that I don’t think others do.
And that’s the way I look at golf architecture — it’s functional artwork.

A land studied, surveyed, and transformed by hours spent with boots in the dirt. Fairways formed with lines of orange paint, edited by an artist’s shoe; rerouted to suit his eye. The grounds now trod while The Game is afoot.

A balance of daring risk and calculated nuance. An embrace of historic context and creative license. Embedded in the fabric of each hole is the spirit of Strantz; whispering hints and secrets, taunts and challenges, encouragement & praise. In the end, he led a player to The Game.

It’s “the show” within the show.
Also, the discussion about going for it over the trees on the par-5 13th is simply delicious.

At first, a seeming oddity; growing to the southeast, a blackjack pine, lone sentinel for a boundary unknown. At second play, a navigational nuance; a marker of center, an intended line to The Road’s punchbowl? Chance of fortune or ingenuity of design; a truth held by the artist.

Balance; 1. Noun - A static position held by the player at address. 2. Verb - An arrangement of bodily and cognitive movements constructed by the player to produce The Swing. Mastery of The Game demands Balance in repose, in action, in flux between.

The Good Bogey; 1. Noun - A belief in the art of overcoming extreme circumstance where the end result feels like a stay at level par. 2. Verb - an applaudable feat; an escape from dire position by which the player perseveres and The Game continues.
