Positano is located on the southern border of Italy on the Gulf of Salerno.
Known by insiders as an enchanting getaway with beautiful landscaping and
scenery with large patches of bougainvillea,a pinkish red flower,draped
across the land and most of the villas.Since JNSE doesn't allow for a large
gathering of color without being offensive I settled for small patches.I also
stuck some forsythia in for good measure.
I was always fascinated with Pebble Beach,the look,feel and style of play
but Bob Polin did such a good job with this course not once but twice that
there's really nothing much more to do.By the way Bob,the 2nd version is much
easier on us mere mortals.Anyway,I did the next best thing and that's make a
course that has some similar play.I also included some of the techniques I
used in making Mahoosuc Ridge one of my more popular course's.The course is
very short by my standard's and really not very difficult but just a couple
bad shots and you could be in for a long game.Where Augusta has Amen Corner,
Positano has Devil's Triangle.Now these holes like Amen Corner aren't that
difficult if played properly but a little wind and a slight miss .....
I played with the objects and BG for four weeks before finally being
satisfied.If you find fault with either or let me know,there's plenty of
spares.All are original except for an evergreen I had made for The Pavilion.
As always if you have any comments good or bad don't hesitate to let me know
but we all know you can't please everybody.I think you"ll find Positano fun
to play,colorful and challenging without driving you crazy.
Other course's I"ve designed: Destiny Draw, Happy Hollow,Emerald Isle,
Timberwolf,Chastity Springs,Mahoosuc Ridge and The Pavilion.
