Had six birdies...they are to be had...and six bogies! Great course, loved the colors and the elevations, it sure does tempt you to go for the not-so-smart play, but if you don't take the bait you end up wishing you had! A new favorite for me, thanks, Danut Golf, hope you are around to see the pleasure you're courses are bringing 11 years after you posted them up.

Beautiful design, really gorgeous to look at and yes, a very difficult course. I do love a challenging track - easy birdies are rarely fun - but this was just a tad too tricky for my taste. I did like the clever use of elevation and the small greens were smooth and slick. Too often during my round though, after I made a great shot I then had to pull off an even greater shot - and often just to break even - so I felt there was a small lack of balance and flow, even though the high difficulty was intended. Regardless of that it's a real deal stunner to look at (I disagree with those who didn't like it - to each their own I guess) and plays very smoothly; definitely a masterly build. Cheers!

A beautiful course with an older look (2006 or before ?) in terms of the fairway and green colors which is quite appealing and different from the 2008 (and up) courses. Not only the textures are different but the course is quite challenging too, with plenty of elevation changes, a lot of twisted fairways and (often) small greens. This par 73 also looks quite realistic and has quite a few risk/reward holes where, sometimes, you might be better off landing your ball in the small rough, where you will have a clearer view of the green, than on the fairway ! On the front 9, I like the par-4 3rd hole, reachable from the tee, with its narrow and slightly elevated green, guarded by bunkers, unlike the par-3 4th, quite similar but with no bunkers near the green. My favorite hole, however, is the very tough downhill right dogleg par-4 5th, with a small pond near the tiny green. The following par-5 6th hole is a left downhill dogleg with an elevated green, and the par-3 8th hole is "cute", with its tee boxes on the downhill slope and its tiny green and pond. As for the par-5 9th hole, it is quite challenging and nice too, with its downhill tee shot, twisted fairway and elevated green. Coming back, I like the par-4 10th hole, all downhill, and the par-4 14th, with its twisted fairway, big pond in the middle and elevated green. The par-4 15th hole is another risk/reward hole, reachable from the tee and slightly uphill with a big tree blocking the view of the green further up. The last two holes are quite breathtaking and tough : the par-5 17th has a fairway twisting right, left, right, then left again (!), with a little creek on the left side halfway, before reaching the green guarded by big bunkers, whereas the short par-5 18th hole has a gorgeous view of the valley from the tee, but turns very sharply to the right with 3 ponds spread apart near the fairway and the elevated green. With its hilly and wooded landscape, nice plantings and realistic look, this course is a lot of fun to play and a definite keeper in my book, thanks to the nice and original design by danut golf !

This is a model that is fun. Creative, daring the risk. I like it a lot. Now, we need an investor to buid it for real.

Hi Steve,
Very different green looking course and the more holes I played, the more I liked the course.
The course did not play easy and was a good challenge.
I always enjoy your courses and this was no exception.
I see we have the usual destructive comment from a player and suggest unless a comment is constructive it should be ignored, because there some people who get their organism from negative comments. hehehe
Cheers Brian

Definitely one of your best courses to date!! First thing that struck me was how the tee boxes all blend into the terrain so well. 2nd thing, was how everything else blended right into the terrain and how very smooth looking the entire course is. Love your bunker work, it is always new and eye catching. Some awesome views from the tee's. Greens work is top notch, undulating and smooth as a babies behind.
Gr8 job Steve!!
Oh, and unless your golf ball is green, I had no problem finding it in the rough.Lol

I enjoyed playing this course.Very challenging layout with the twisting fairways, one always has to be careful with club selection in order to achieve the optimum benefit instead of just slamming the ball down the course. I also liked the elevation changes. The course is very green,but not to the detriment of play.Congrats on an excellent design.

I was really hopeing this would be a nice addition to my TW 08 collection of courses but I was sadly disappointed. First off when you start at hole 1 you will notice the overally VERY dark green color of the outlining grass which is makes visibility for seeing anything in it almost unseeable, including your ball. Why this color was selected is beyond my understanding. Also the cup sits up on a mound rather than a picture pretty green. The design of this whole course is shabby to say the least.

Very good job, I thoroughly enjoyed my round. When played on breezy I found the narrow, twisting fairways and small greens challenging but fair. Excellent elevation and bunker work. The par 4 third hole is a real tempter, tried to drive it in one and ended up in one of the greenside bunkers. Thanks for sharing this course.
