ckay I think the people who dislike Tobacco Road are going in with the wrong attitude and expecting a fair test of golf with predictable bounces.
TR is not fair or predictable. It's an experience. It's a test of your ball striking and resolve. It's also a piece of art that you can play golf on.
Go there to play something wild and unique. Don't go there intending to hang a score on it, though as @Noyes26 said it's very getable.
