This course is probably one of the toughest you will ever play !
Despite its nice rocky mountain panorama and its cascades, you need to be concentrated at 120% on every single hole as I found out, the hard way, after finishing with a score of... 82 (as a novice player !) due to its very fast greens, where a simple 5-footer can easily turn into a bogey or worse...
But, unlike Tripel43, who chose not to play this course again (see his comments below), I immediately went back, and this time, knowing what to expect, finished with a 8-under-par 64 (!), despite two double bogeys and another bogey ! If, at first, you don't succeed...
With its very steep terrain (not a single flat hole !), rollercoaster and often slanted fairways, not to mention tough downhill/uphill shots from the tee boxes or to reach the tricky greens, this par 72 will keep you on your toes until the end.
Whiffle56 did a fantastic job designing this course (great plantings too, especially all these beautiful flowers), combining breathtaking views with very challenging holes. Needless to say, it is a must download and a definite keeper for me !

to counter the very fast greens i tried very wet greens with my usual advanced 3 click , difficult pins etc, and i have to say as well as looking great and running real smooth it was very playable many thanks for sharing and all your hard work

I can be short (after all those years): nice looking course, but TERRIBLE greens (balls that keep rolling for a quarter of and hour......).
Don't like to play this again (sorry).

Nice enough course..... But the greens are shocking.
I had roll backs on many of them with Dry settings & a few roll backs on Normal as well.

Nice course goes with the Broadmoor set of courses, not easy but a good challenge

Excellent design, the third to the trio of Broodmore courses. This one combines great elevation work and views from the tee. The doglegs and approach shots to the green are all tactical with a great "real" feel to the play. The greens are fast with some great plateaus and challenges... adds to the fun. Smooth looking and has the eye candy feature. My favorite of the group and congrats on the design. Among the best this year .
