As mentioned by jmeier, this par 72 is not the most exciting course you will ever play, especially with its “naked” look on quite a few holes (no panorama to gaze at !), and its bushes which seem to have been planted exactly a few feet from each other (looking unnatural...), not to mention the similar small greens with, often, tiny ponds around, as you will discover on the first three par-4 holes. Nevertheless, a couple of holes on the front 9 stand out, such as the nice par-3 4th, with a tee shot over plenty of small shrubs and a tiny... pond in front of the green (surrounded by lots of trees), and the left dogleg par-5 5th, with a tee shot over an elongated lake and a slightly-uphill approach to the green. The par-3 7th hole also looks pretty, with a slightly-downhill blind tee shot over scattered bushes and a green, surrounded by two bunkers in front (and a small pond behind), and is followed by the left dogleg par-5 8th, with bushes across the fairway, halfway in the corner, and a tough shot to the green, with a small bunker in front and another tiny pond on the left. Coming back, the par-3 13th hole is quite short (less than 100 yards), and requires an uphill tee shot over some bushes to reach the green, whereas the left dogleg par-4 14th looks quite bare, despite two tiny ponds near the corner and behind the green. In fact, the best hole might be the bare but scenic par-3 16th, with a tee shot over an elongated lake (lined up with bushes) ending in front of the elevated green. But despite two dogleg holes to finish, (left par-5 17th, with a wide fairway and three small bunkers in front of the green, and right par-4 18th, slightly-uphill all the way with a tee shot over some bushes and a tiny pond to the right of the green), this par 72 is not one of skydoral’s best, as I prefer his much more attractive Meagen Bay Golf & CC and the gorgeous Pine Knoll GCC courses...

Course played smoothly and without any problems. A bit disappointed that an 05 pano was used as it was not visible at all. There was not really any elevation changes in the course which made it play and feel bland. I only could notice 1 tree type and two different shrubs/bushes and they all seemed to be at the same height.
