The Davis Love, III-designed Origins course is comprised of six regulation holes playing between 1,600 and 1,800 yards. Because of its unique design, the layout can also be played as a six-hole par three course. Its design is consistent with the Scottish origins of the game in which six, nine, and ten or twelve-hole courses were commonplace. It is golf made simple and fun, again, yet challenging enough to retain the interest of avid players.
