Again a nice course of the pride of Brabant (Dutch province), Martijn Hover.
In his Sierra PGA career his first ourses looked somewhat unreal, but also had something special, sometimes merely playable (or shall we say: unplayable; e.g.The Course of the Drinking Classes-Sierra PGA).
Of those the special element is still there in his TW-courses.
Always amusing, sometimes surprising, never mind which designer name he uses.
So thank you Martijn, for your countless nice courses.

jimi-this is a stunning course, i can play this one over and over. Its as close to real as a fantacy course can get and so refreshing to play a Euro style course. You should realy consider doing some more real courses (Euro please) like this weeks stop at Le Golf National (Albatros course).

For those who have already downloaded this course: as of 6-23 there is a new Bumsenburg+ library available with a repaired pano. The lib can just replace the other one.

Thanks Zee. There is one bunker/swimming pool on the course, smack dab in the middle of the fairway on the front 9 somewhere.
The creases were mostly caused by repairing the paths in the final design stage to prevent golf carts tipping over because of the slope, lol. That stretched the plot in some spots beyond repair. I could remove the creaes there, but only by adding lots to the points count. As soon as I optimized they came back again. As it is there is not a single shape on this course with more than 2,000 points. I thought most of the creases were minor, so I just left them. The TPC thing was just a joke, of course. PGAX sure is an ongoing education.

A pretty nice and easy going track this Jimi. I didnt find it very difficult mind, but was a bit of fun outside the norm.
The terrain looked quite natural although the course did look a little rushed in places where I would have expected you to maybe take a bit more time about things. For example, I did find a few creases in the cut/rough and although they were in places which do not interfere with play, I was suprised to find them on a course by you. Wasnt too keen on the 5th green complex. The backstop to the green was green/fairaway, however I c ertainly wouldnt like to cut the grass on either area there, Id keep doing backflips with the mower! There are a few dodgy pin locations for the very dry player and I thought the cut used was perhaps a little darker than ideal.
It was good however, to see some of the real design principles you have obviously picked up from us over at PGAX being used on this course. ie: Bunkers were not swimming pools and not set below the level of the surrounding terrain. Would be nice to see some of the terrain built up more so that when adding bunkers, you also keep the surrounding humps from bunkers encroaching onto fairways and greens.
Not sure why you gave it the TPC name however, as it doesnt really follow the TPC design principles, however it might just result in more downloads for you, seeing as it was released alongside the River Highlands course this week.
Good effort Jimi.
