I toyed around with doing Banff Springs, but Rundle Mountain is literally right next to the course and it's nearly impossible to recreate that aspect properly. With respect to ron717 who released a version of Banff Springs, it was sorely lacking mountain visuals. It didn't feel at all like the real thing as a result, at least, not to me.

Maybe I'll circle back around some day and try again, but in the meantime, this will have to do.

I have been looking for a course similar to Banff Springs (from my Links 2003 days) for some time. This one not only rivals it but surpasses it! Thank goodness the breathtaking views help offset some of the difficulty of this awesome and challenging course. The atmosphere and beauty is everywhere and oh, that waterfall! Thank you, Quietly!

Wow, What an amazing course! Full of challenges and breathtaking (really!) scenery. One can only wish this was a real course. A truly outstanding job by a master course designer. Thank you!

Despite writing my usual novel below (ha, ha !), I forgot to mention that the texture used for the rocks is great, and that the view of the mountain as you reach the 18th green is simply superb !
And, believe it or not, Quietly used only... 3 libraries to create this spectacular course...

Another beautiful course from Quietly, with breathtaking (and scary !) mountains views, uphill all the way, and with steeply-elevated greens, making your approaches quite tricky, club-wise.
Right off the bat, you will see what’s in store for you with the pretty dogleg left par-4 1st hole, before continuing, after two straight ones (par-5 2nd and its little bridge, midway, and the par-4 3rd, with its heavily-slanted fairway and undulated green), with the dogleg right par-4 4th, with a tee shot over deep rough and bushes and a blind approach toward a steeply-elevated green.
But the best has yet to come, with the gorgeous par-4 5th hole (my favorite), with a very tricky tee shot over a serpentine area filled with bunkers and bushes right in front of a narrow green, set right in front of a beautiful waterfall running down from a high cliff, and the scenic dogleg left par-5 6th, with that cascade again (next to the tee box, on the left) and a tee shot around trees on top of that high cliff, leaving you with a very long and risky second shot toward the elevated green, hard to reach if you want to have an eagle opportunity.
You will then face the pretty par-3 7th hole, and its steeply... downhill green, surrounded by bunkers, before walking over to another par-3, the 8th hole (uphill and with a wide green), and finishing with the dogleg left par-4 9th, with trees splitting two fairways, lengthwise, midway, allowing you to choose which side you want to hit your tee shot...
As expected, the back 9 has some very scary and difficult holes too, starting with the breathtaking and straight par-4 11th, simply gorgeous with its narrow fairway along a very steep ravine (on the right) and its steeply-elevated green, and the dogleg left par-5 12th, with a second shot over a big ravine (filled with trees) and an elevated green, guarded by a big bunker in front.
Then, after the straight par-3 13th, uphill all the way, two dogleg right holes await you (the par-4 14th and the par-5 15th), with the first one being tougher with its fairway winding its way left, then uphill to the right (past a wide sandy area, midway), even though the latter one has a more steeply-elevated green.
The last three holes are not only beautiful, they are also quite challenging : the par-4 16th is a dogleg, bending to the left, along a sandy area ending behind the elevated green, and is followed by the scenic par-3 17th, with a tee shot flying between two mountains, and the pretty par-4 18th, uphill all the way, with a risky approach over another steep valley to reach the green, perched on a rocky mountain (with a beautiful house, offering a gorgeous panoramic view of the surroundings).
With its spectacular views and nice trees all along, this A(lpine) A(scent) Golf Club deserves an A+, combining beauty and difficulty, and you will have your hands full trying to break par (especially with all those strategically-placed bunkers near the undulated greens) before heading for a well-deserved rest after completing your round !

P.S. I apologize, Quietly, for not hearing the waterfall (as I, mistakenly, mentioned to you in the forum) ! Turns out that I did not set the sound high enough (ha, ha) !

Beautiful course, and great scenery. Reminds me of playing golf at Banff, in Canada.
