I would absolutely do the short but harder. I think it would be more fun, since it's a relative scenario I won't be be playing something massively difficult but sometimes it's fun to just be creative on the course.

I played midpines and TR the same weekend and felt the same way haha. I love Mid Pines but man was I playing terrible. My last round I played there was at the Heritage club. Liked the course but didn’t like the atmosphere. I was playing so well until the back 9. 54 holes in 30 hours really takes a toll on youI watched enough of TR to have a rough idea of what’s good, what’s not good. Having someone who played there before helped quite a bit too, which was nice. But also, I friggin loved that course.
I played Midpines at not very long, maybe 6300? I have never walked off a course wanting to take up bowling as much as I did after that one. Good God that was an infuriating round of golf.

Sheesh that’s a grind. Next time I go down I’m definitely playing TR again. I’d also like to play Pinehurst and Pine NeedlesI did the exact same thing. 54 the day before at TR, then a true punch to the throat with another 18 at Mid Pines hahahaahha

Lots of guys way longer than me around here that might have opposite opinions of mine though. I don't know. For me this equation is probably more skillset than length balanced. I've never met a shorter (for me) course that I couldn't drop wedges into well. The shorter stuff, wedge in, is the strength of my game. And doing the thing you're already good at again and again gets boring to me. So I'd just rather have to try longer shots and more variety. Variety being the spice of life and all.Long or short is relative to the player. For me, anything over 6500 is getting long. For @OldandStiff or some others, that's a short course. That said, I'd rather play a course at 6500 with average difficulty than a very difficult 6000 yard track.
I selected both because I think both can be a challenge and I like a challenge.

I think it's about 6700 from where we played. When are we going to back to Mid Pines? Also, I picked a bad day to experiment with a new putter.
