(suite) Just a suggestion : I think it would have been nicer to have a few pictures from the course designed by NJJ062, rather than the ones used in the general info to show how really good the course looks !

Awesome course from Pretoria and designed by NJJ062 ! I was a little worried at first after seeing that it required... 21 librairies (enough to open a bookstore !), but with so many great details, no wonder why... The city skyline is great with those high-rise buildings just like the all-around panorama. The textures of the fairways and the greens are superb. And what about those bunkers ? Not only there are very deep (love those wooden steps... but not as much the texture used on the walls) but, once you are in, good luck to get out ! Case in point : after holing in the par-3 8th, I got a triple bogey (!) on the par-5 9th after landing my approach shot in one of them. The first two holes are nice doglegs and the par-3 5th is simply gorgeous with its narrow fairway and tiny green guarded by two deep bunkers. As for the above-mentioned 8th hole, it is almost an island green. On the back 9, the par-4 13th, the par-3 14th and the par-4 15th are pretty nice with their little bridges over the water. As for the par-5 18th, it is simply beautiful, especially near the green. A definite masterpiece, thanks to the superb job done by NJJ062, to add to my around-the-world collection of great courses...

By the look of the course as in layout, excellent, you oviously know how to use the TA, your Yardiges are spot on. One thing I would never use are TW 06 Textures, way to many good good textures out their including the CGX design team, which I am part of that you could use. Noticed you are South African, so you have a good feel for how the course is presented, enjoyed the pot bunkers, showed plenty of skill with them, didn't like the texture of the wall, surrounding the bunkers. Far as the depth of the water, it maybe that depth from rough to water

Nice course; especially the bunkers (shall we call them "Scottish bunkers"?) 4 stars rating, undoubtedly...

I played this course in real life and it is so nice to play it on TW, the course is identical to the real one. Well done give you 5/5 for the course, some tiny things that I picked up that weren't perfect BUT overall its a great course and great design.

This is a great looking course. Loved the pot bunkers you did. The only thing I didn't like was the tee objects, the colors looked to pale, but I give this a 5 rating. Great Job.

I gave this course a rating of 4****. While I dont claim to be a course designer, far from it, I beleive I can be fair and offer my persepective of the design. First let me say that I enjoyed playing the course. It played smoothly and I could not find any apparent seems. Secondly, the pano was outstanding as were IMHO the plantings. Fairways and greens were nicely done as well and their appearence/texture were particularly pleasing. The 150 T-markers were a nice touch.
The bunkers, while well situated, needed IMHO some work on the walls. The water texture was fine as was the plantings in and around the water hazards, however I believe the levels would have looked more aesthetically pleasing had they been higher. The periphery of the water hazards looked to be mainly sand based which would not be an efficient use in all reality. Perhaps a more earthern tone would lend itself to the shoreline.
Lastly the Tee's were not up to the overall excellent quality of this course.
Nicely done....

I think you did an outstanding job on this course, Your textures blend well with each other and there are no noticable seams that i could see and you can tell that you took time to place your trees. The only issues i had with the course are the bunkers or the walls of the bunkers. If you had added some grass or did something with the walls of the bunkers to get rid of that washed out look the course would have looked better. Well done, keep up the good work.

From the moment you step onto the first tee you have a feel that this course is going to a challenge. It is. It has a nice feel, textures and bunkers. Also the 150 pegs are a nice touch. Holes 3 & 6 (bunkers especially) are my favourites. Well done.
