Another magnificent creation from Jimbo63 where you will spend more time gazing at the scenery than playing the course itself, relatively "easy" with its wide fairways. This par 72 is another beauty with small hills as a panorama, superb plantings, water hazards, high rough and quite a few strategically-placed bunkers. After a scenic left dogleg par-4 1st hole, with white flowers on both sides of the fairway and three small ponds, two of them framing the green, you will reach one of my favorite holes, the gorgeous right dogleg par-4 2nd, with beautiful vegetation and marshland on the right, a lake on the left and big bunkers across the fairway in the corner halfway. The par-3 3rd hole is easy but very picturesque, with a tee shot over a lake and three "cute" tiny "islands" with their little bridges behind the green, whereas the right dogleg par-5 4th has a small meandering creek on the right in the green wasteland, big bunkers in the middle with high rough, nice palm trees on the left, and a peninsula green, surrounded by water on both sides and behind. After the scenic par-4 5th hole, with water on the left side and some greenery and high rough on the right, you will reach another very pretty hole, the left dogleg par-4 6th, with plenty of high rough on the left, a big pond across the fairway halfway through, nice small trees on the right and a a small pond on the right side of the green. Another gorgeous hole is the left dogleg par-4 8th, with a downhill tee shot, beautiful villas with their private gardens below on the right next to the river, and big bushes across near the green with a few small ponds on both sides : simply stunning visually ! As for the right dogleg par-5 9th hole, it is quite nice too with plenty of trees and a few little creeks on the right, high rough on the left and more high rough in a bunker, surrounding the green. On the back 9, I like the right dogleg par-4 11th hole, nice and tough, with a downhill tee shot, a big bunker across halfway, a small meandering creek on the right and a big pond across in front of the green, surrounded by nice flowers. The dogleg par-5 12th hole looks a little bit similar with trees on the right, lots of high rough on the left, but you will need a long (and blind) second shot to reach the green, hidden by trees, while making sure to avoid the big bunker on the right. The next few holes, with a lof of slightly-downhill tee shots, are not too hard as long as you avoid the few water hazards near the greens, until you reach the spectacular right dogleg par-4 18th hole, another favorite of mine, with a big lake on the right side, more water on the right, and a big island green with a nice clubhouse and a parking lot, a little bit further behind... Visually-stunning, Adams Island is a pure delight even though it is not the most difficult course you will ever play. But, once in a while, playing a stress-free round of golf is what we all need and, thanks to Jimbo63's great work, we now have a new course to enjoy it !

Beautiful layout, Jimbo - don't think I've seen a course look so clean. The word that comes to mind is "manicured". I was nervous about taking a divot or going into a bunker for fear of making it look untidy :) Having already played your new Zenith course, I noticed a few similar features, but that's OK - I love both courses...

I agree, nice and I mean nice attention to detail, you have made the smoothing tool your friend, and that is a good thing. Very very nice work on your water features and the bunker work is excellent! Super work from an up and coming designer! Your hard work shows m8.. Axe..

I have played this course from the Tournament tees and the Middle tees and found both enjoyable to play. You do have to think about a few shots. Good job Jimbo63.

Liked the way you laid out the course with water. Played smoothly and enjoyed the "eye candy" as well. The 18th green was fun to play. Thanks for sharing this course with the rest of us. Very Nicely Done!
