  Course:Jellico Junction
  Location:Jellico, Tennessee
  Type:Fictional
  Season:Fall
  Background:Original
  Designer:Steve Holden

  The Course
   I started with two established trees and a palette with the oranges,reds
  and yellows of fall.After much adjusting and shading I was happy with the
  outcome and started adding objects one at a time with DPII and coloring as
  I went.Finally, after much adjusting and shading I had the colors for fall.
  Putting them on a trial hole I had made the color was really nice but with
  so many objects of bright colors they had a tendency to run together.I
  needed an object that I could use to break the pattern.What I wanted was
  a green tree that would also blend well with the mountains and creek that
  would run through the course.I settled for what I'll call a brush tree.I
  made it a little taller and much wider than the other trees and filled it
  in with groundcover and rocks.Now it was time to shade the fairway,rough,
  etc..Now let me throw in a little tip for new designer's about choosing a
  color for your fairways etc.When you get a shade your happy with you always
  want to put some objects that you will be using out there to check the 
  shading effect.If you don't have a smooth transition between objects and
  rough,heavy rough where most of the objects are you have the wrong colors.
  You also want to get your sand and water shades at this time and check them
  also.Build a temporary trap and put a 5' deep hole in the middle to check
  the shade of sand and put some water around the fairway with objects to
  check the water blend.Happy with this it was time for the layout.

   The Layout
  I must refer to my last course to explain the layout.I just completed Siesta
  Key Resort an island course with the holes so congested that I had to do
  adjacents as I went.It was a very complex layout so for this course I wanted
  to spread it out.The end result is only two adjacents that you probably won't
  even notice.I did(G).Also Siesta was a Florida course and therefore very flat.
  so I had a need to ELEVATE!!You'll find an abundance of elevated tees,hills
  and mountains.I even threw in two waterfalls.I've been a little conservative
  lately(G).I also broke up the usual pattern, the front nine has three each
  par 3's,4's and 5's.The back nine has two 3's,four 4's and three 5's.

   The Play
  You'll find the play surprisingly easy if you stay on the fairway or rough.
  There is not much rough off the fairway before you get to heavy rough but
  if you ever play in the fall you know that off the fairway is murder and I
  wanted this course to be realistic.I'm not going to break down each hole as
  I feel every player see's each hole different and plays accordingly.I have
  a tendency to play conservatively and that works for me but the big hitter
  will have plenty of oppurtunities on Jellico.

      I'd like to thank Bob Polin for some groundcover and a golf cart I used
      on Jellico and also for all the encouragement and support he has given
      me.Thanks Bob and keep on designing for all our sakes.
