The Loop at Forest Dunes is based on 18 reversible holes; played clockwise they form the Black Course, or anti-clockwise the Red course. The inspiration for this reversible layout (the Old Course St Andrews) actually started life with just 11 holes. The 11 were played in one direction "going out" and the opposite direction "coming home", giving a round of 22 holes. The 11 were cut to nine in the mid-1700s, creating an 18-hole round, which quickly became the norm for all golf courses.

By the mid-1800s the popularity of golf in St Andrews had increased to such an extent that playing both the outward and inward nines to the same greens was becoming impractical and dangerous. To solve the problem it was decided to cut two holes on each green, with white flags for outward holes and red for inward ... the origin of the Old Course's seven double-greens.
