All rights reserved! Source: 'The 1992 Viewers Guide to Professional Golf' published by Intergolf Objects and Backgrounds: The background I believe originated on Scorpion, one of Mark Willett's designs. Its been modified but not that much. Other objects can be attributed to Lee Ritze, Scott Chesney, Mark Willett, Joe Blankenship, Brian Silvernail and Phil McCloud. If I missed someone, I sincerely apologize. Special thanks to Bill Claybourn who play tested the course. Plot layout: It was borrowed from Phil McCloud's Sunningdale I liked his use of the paledit program designed by John Kuniyk, so quite frankly I borrowed it. John's new palette editor is much easier to use and I will certainly use it for future designs. Palette: To get the real effect of the overheads, you'll have to review the course in the Design mode. Its my understanding that JNSE 'takes back' the original palette for overheads. Thus the dramatic sand colors can only be be seen as you play the course, but not as you view it.

You will have to develop your own. We all play the course somewhat differently. Some hit fades - right or left, some hit through the power bar, and some play very conservative. I tried to make Cut and Shoot playable to all... but not on every hole. You will hit fades on some; hit conservative on others and gamble with the power bar on others. Hopefully I've made it enjoyable with enough variety to keep it on your hard disk to play it again. Controversy: If played from the Championship tees Cut and Shoot is long; at 7276 yards it is 500 yards longer than my layout but my feelings are if you want shorter... then play from the pro or mens tees. In my opinion, a championship course should be long, but that's only one man's opinion! On four holes (1,2,12,and 18) they exceed 450 yards; but only one plays to a par 5, and its the shortest of the 4. I also believe its the toughest of the four on the approach to the green. I debated with changing more than one of the par 4's; hole # 2 was a par 5 at one time but then again hole # 18 was a par 4, too. Since I felt # 18 was the toughest of the four and the closing hole, it became the par 5 for two reasons. Who wants to shoot 74 and not break par and besides who doesn't want to be shooting for a birdie - or perhaps an eagle - on 18? It keeps one coming back! Hole layout: As with most of my JNSE designs, the Cut and Shoot Golf Ranch has its origins from other famous courses in the USA and Canada. The 'best' or most exciting holes were not selected, but mainly hole layouts that fit into this course's layout or surroundings. All hole layouts have a close resemblance to the specific hole used as the 'model'; however that may be where the resemblance ends. The elevation, terrain, length and shape of the green will vary. With this design I added the creek bed, so some holes have changed drastically. The designers at Chasing Rainbows used the following hole layouts to develop the Championship course at the Golf Ranch: # yards/par # yards/par 1 Westchester 12 476/4 10 Bellerive 2 437/4 2 Castle Pines 5 477/4 11 PGA National 11 412/4 3 Bellerive 8 581/5 12 Atlanta 18 499/5 4 Doral 4 225/3 13 TPC Prestancia 16 169/3 5 La Costa 5 446/4 14 TPC Woodlands 17 383/4 6 TPC Rvr Hgh 15 296/4 15 Southwind 18 437/4 7 English Turn 8 176/3 16 Glen Abbey 13 529/5 8 Bay Hill 8 424/4 17 Bay Hill 17 219/3 9 Bellerive 17 604/5 18 Castle Pines 3 462/4h)0*0*0*Ԍ Yes and No: Cut and Shoot, Texas is a real town located almost due north from Houston's Intercontinental Airport. Its located on Highway 105 between Conroe and Security on the edge of the Sam Houston National Forest. Take Interstate 45 from Houston, then turn east onto Hwy 105. Down the road aways is the sign for the Golf Ranch. Drive real slow or you might miss the entrance. Just come on by anytime, there always seems to be a foursome fixin' to tee off! Come see us and play play golf at the Cut and Shoot Golf Ranch often! Comments, suggestions - pro and con - are always welcome!
