If you expect to see snow on this winter course, you won't see it, but if you expect to play a nice course, you won't... be disappointed !
Maybe I have been playing (and commenting !) too many courses, but I did not see any major difference(s) between this course and the Drakensberg Highlands Resort(DHR), released a couple of months earlier.
As a result, whatever version you choose to play, you will enjoy it : with its nice hilly panorama, superb plantings, and real look, this par 72 has plenty of doglegs and a lot of uphill approach shots to the greens, not to mention water hazards (ponds, rivers, creeks) and a few well-placed bunkers and trees to keep you in check.
After a nice and straight opening par-4 hole, with a downhill tee shot next to the river on the right, and an elevated green, I like the downhill par-3 2nd, with a half-moon-shaped pond on the left and behind the green and the cute little log cabins around.
If the downhill par-5 3rd hole, with the river on the right, and an elevated green with a small lake behind, is not overly difficult and quite short (less than 480 yards), I prefer the very picturesque downhill par-3 4th, with water around both sides of the green, set on a plateau, with the river below on the left !
The next few holes are doglegs : the par-4 5th follows the river on the right, with an uphill tee shot landing on a heavily-slanted fairway and a downhill approach shot to the green, the par-4 6th hole is similar, but a little bit flatter, whereas the down-and-up par-4 7th has an elevated green with a lake behind.
One of my favorite holes is the par-4 8th, with its rollercoaster fairway, uphill then downhill, with a creek on the left side flowing partially across the fairway in the middle of the downhill slope (with bushes around), and a blind tee shot down toward the green !
As for the right dogleg par-4 9th hole, more wide-open on the left side (with less trees), you will need another uphill approach shot to reach the green.
On the back 9, I also like the downhill par-5 10th hole, with trees and bushes lined up in the middle of the fairway (with a big bunker on the right), and a meandering creek going around it in front of the green, a little bit downhill.
The par-3 12th hole, with an elevated green in front of a small pond, is not too tricky, just like the left dogleg par-4 13th, quite nice with a big elongated pond on the left and a blind shot to the steep downhill green.
The left dogleg par-5 14th hole, with a river on the right side and the green, partially hidden by trees on the right, is also pretty, whereas the par-3 15th hole, with a tee shot over a small lake around, has one of the widest green you will ever see !
After the right dogleg par-4 16th hole, with a downhill tee shot and a blind uphill approach shot to the green, and the long and straight par-5 17th, with a rollercoaster fairway and a slightly-elevated green, you will finish your round with the straight par-4 18th hole, with a river on the right and a small pond on the left, before heading for the nice clubhouse (with a few carts parked in front), behind the elevated green.
Overall, DHR Winter is a very well-designed golf course and could easily be defined as real with its natural and nice plantings and its river, running by, and it plays very smoothly too, thanks to Wizard's designing talent !
