Another stunning design from BGravolicious with lots of variety all along as you never know what is coming up next... With a nice mountainous panorama, gorgeous plantings, great elevation work and plenty of high grass and rough, sometimes near the greens, this par 72 is quite challenging, especially on the front 9 where quite a few greens are very close to the lake, like the par-4 1st and the left dogleg par-4 2nd holes, offering breathtaking views. I also like the right dogleg par-5 3rd hole, with a tee shot over the lake, and a small hill on the right side, hiding the view of the downhill green (guarded by two bunkers), and the left dogleg par-4 4th, with plenty of high grass in the middle of the fairway and in a hollow wasteland (on the left side) and an elevated green with a steep slope in front. The following right dogleg par-4 5th hole requires a slightly uphill tee shot and a blind approach shot to the downhill green, unlike the scenic par-3 6th hole, with its island green, and the par-4 7th, with a tee shot over a wide lake and a second shot towards the elevated green. As for the sharp right dogleg par-5 9th hole, with its sloped fairway, you will need to hit a very precise approach shot to the island green as the pin placement is quite tough... On the back 9, I like the first few holes, quite challenging : the right dogleg par-4 10th hole has a steep uphill tee shot and a downhill green, the right dogleg par-5 11th is gorgeous with plenty of high grass near the green (next to the lake), and the par-3 12th hole is very picturesque with plenty of bushes and a downhill green surrounded by a lot of high grass. As for the last inland holes, my favorite is the right dogleg par-4 17th with its steep uphill green. With its real look and gorgeous views, this course is so delightful to watch and play that you will barely notice the panorama not lined up (on the 7th, 9th and 18th holes) as mentioned by Jurgie... So, hurry to download this hilly course : you won't be disappointed !

Amazing design, this is one gem of a creation. I knew from the first hole I was going to like it.. and after a couple more I loved it. It's a fantastic layout, at times showing inspiration drawn from famous real tracks. Every hole is terrific but for me the two long par 5's, the 3rd and 11th, are works of art - simply brilliant. The whole course is well thought-out and clever, demanding but beatable, gorgeous to look at, and best of all - fun! A masterpiece, hands down, cheers!

Nice work, I liked the split fairways and adventures of hidden greens. Good looking pano.

My favourite type of course, what i call a Farmland style course reminiscent of one of my all time favoutites the Daulouth Golfing Grounds from 2003. Really great work all round here - keep em rolling.

Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle

What I loved about the course: Great elevation work, great planting of trees and shrubs, nice sculptured look to the terrain for a complete panoramic look, pano is very complimentory to the course and great looking water textures. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into designing every hole because they are all uniquely different. Perhaps maybe a little too much thought and trickery because it became a little too much target golf for my liking. I have also never cared too much for the extremely high and coarse looking rough textures that are very frequent throughout the entire course. Used in some appropriate locations I guess it would be alright but for me it was a little overdone. On a couple of holes the pano sections didnt quite line up but that was not a major distraction. Having said that I must also say that it is still an excellent design that obviously was the recipient of a lot of effort and work. I certainly appreciate this kind of ability, and thank you for this creation.
