I don't play too many fantasy courses, but this one is a keeper. It isn't terribly difficult, but if you end up on the wrong side of the slopes - on the green and around the green - you can end up with a big number. I'm unsure if M.G.A Hoover is Jimi, so I'll just thank both of them! Enjoyed the round.

A very pleasant course to gaze at and play, even though it is not overly difficult, despite its water hazards, slight elevations changes, well-placed elongated bunkers and its (few) tricky greens...
The par-4 1st hole is a tough way to start, as you will have to decide what club to use to tee off to avoid an elongated lake on the left (ending in the middle of the fairway), and a wide lake, set on the right.
And, yes, as pointed out by some players below, the elevated green on the par-4 2nd hole is quite tricky with its slope, but if you want to avoid trouble, you should try to land your approach, short of the flag, in front.
You should then be rewarded with an eagle opportunity on the short par-5 3rd hole, with a big pond on the right in front of the green to watch for, before walking over to the par-3 4th, with a tee shot over a small lake landing onto an elevated green, framed by two big bunkers.
Another eagle chance awaits you on the right dogleg par-5 7th hole, with a tee shot over a wide lake and a blind approach to the elevated green, before facing the risk/reward par-4 8th, where you can try to reach the green with your tee shot flying above an elongated bunker ending in front of the green.
You will then finish the front 9 with the very scenic par-3 9th hole, as you can see on the above picture...
Coming back, I like the short and straight par-4 10th hole, with its u-shaped bunker in the middle of the fairway, and two more elongated ones framing the elevated green (with a wide lake behind), and the left dogleg par-5 12th, with its very narrow fairway, set between a small pond, midway (below, on the left) and a big elongated bunker all along on the right (and ending across the fairway, midway), and its green, with another small elongated bunker in front and to the right.
Then, after the short par-3 15th hole, with a tee shot over a small lake and an elevated green, and the par-3 17th, with a blind shot landing onto the green, with a big lake behind, you will complete your round with the pretty and challenging left dogleg par-5 18th hole, with trees all along on the left side, big elongated bunkers in the middle of the fairway and to the right (with a small lake behind) and a gorgeous approach to the green, with a narrow and long bridge behind and the skyscrapers further back...
With its nice plantings and Jimipolis high-rise buildings to look at (don't forget to set the Shader level to low !), this par 72 should provide you with plenty of birdies and a few eagles (especially on the par-5 holes), enough to thank again M.G.A. Hover for this nice layout !

A true masterpiese Jimi. Although I dont understand the reason for the unrealistic severally sloping greens? I had a 25 foot putt on one hole with a 3 foot drop in elevation, I hit the putt almost as light as I could and when I seen it rolling I thought to myself it isnt going to make it to the hole. Not only did it make it to the hole but it passed the hole and continued down the slope some 30 feet past the hole and ended up off the green, not in the fringe but in the rough. Before I made the putt, the commentator said This is a nauseatingly fast putt downhill First time I ever heard that one. lol

No worries about the text file Jimi....we already added the text file in the zip file available for download.....

Note: Very nice course.....When you set Shader level: Low ( in TW08...options), you will see very nice buildings.

This is the screen text for the course which I forgot to add. Put it in the course folder and add it to the course with the CU tool.

This is the second course to be found on the outskirts of the city of Jimipolis. Located in a tight bend of the Blabber River, it is distinctly more downmarket than its fancy sister course on the other side of town. It is called the Sinterklaas Course because Sinterklaas, whos a mean old golfer (handicap 7), has a holiday residence there. Also located on the course is the soccer pitch of the local team, FC Jimipolis United - which means no golf on Sunday afternoons when theres a match on. Fortunately for golfers, the team is bottom league and hasnt been involved in any end-of-season play-offs for 54 years, so the soccer season in Jimipolis tends to be brief. Because the location of the course is basically a piece of wetland, it gets inundated every ten years or so,. The ponds that are left behind after such an episode are carefully preserved to add numerous water hazards to the course.
